Note that Google Benchmark requires Google Test to build and run the tests. This
dependency can be provided two ways:
* Checkout the GTest sources into `benchmark/googletest`.
* Checkout the Google Test sources into `benchmark/googletest` as above.
* Otherwise, if `-DBENCHMARK_DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES=ON` is specified during
configuration, the library will automatically download and build any required
dependencies.
* Otherwise, if nothing is done, CMake will use `find_package(GTest REQUIRED)`
to resolve the required GTest dependency.
If you do not wish to build and run the tests, add `-DBENCHMARK_ENABLE_GTEST_TESTS=OFF`
to `CMAKE_ARGS`.

##Prerequisite knowledge
Before attempting to understand this framework one should ideally have some familiarity with the structure and format of the Google Test framework, upon which it is based. Documentation for Google Test, including a "Getting Started" (primer) guide, is available here:

## Linking against the library
When using gcc, it is necessary to link against pthread to avoid runtime exceptions.
This is due to how gcc implements std::thread.
When the library is built using GCC it is necessary to link with `-pthread`,
due to how GCC implements `std::thread`.
For GCC 4.x failing to link to pthreads will lead to runtime exceptions, not linker errors.
See [issue #67](https://github.com/google/benchmark/issues/67) for more details.

# Known Issues
### Windows
### Windows with CMake
* Users must manually link `shlwapi.lib`. Failure to do so may result
in unresolved symbols.
### Solaris
* Users must explicitly link with kstat library (-lkstat compilation flag).
