+Ensuring that the status is ok using googletest macros
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+The check is aware of ``googletest`` (or ``gtest``) macros and matchers.
+Accessing the value of a ``StatusOr<T>`` object is considered safe if it
+is preceded by an ``ASSERT_`` macro that ensures the status is ok.
+For example
+
+.. code:: cpp
+
+ TEST(MySuite, MyTest) {
+ absl::StatusOr<int> x = foo();
+ ASSERT_OK(x);
+ use(*x);
+ }
+
+ TEST(MySuite, MyOtherTest) {
+ absl::StatusOr<int> x = foo();
+ ASSERT_THAT(x, absl_testing::IsOk());
+ use(*x);
+ }
+
+The following ``googletest`` macros are supported:
+
+- ``ASSERT_OK(...)``
+- ``ASSERT_TRUE(...)``
+- ``ASSERT_FALSE(...)``
+- ``ASSERT_THAT(...)``
+
+The following matchers are supported:
+
+- ``IsOk()``
+- ``StatusIs(...)``
+- ``IsOkAndHolds(...)``
+- ``CanonicalStatusIs(...)``
+
+**Note**: ``EXPECT_`` macros (like ``EXPECT_OK`` or ``EXPECT_TRUE(x.ok())``)
+do **not** make subsequent accesses safe because they do not terminate the
+test execution.
