Compiler-explorer: [BUG] gtest libraries not linked

[rafaelreyesalvarez]

It appears that the Google Test libraries are not being added to the compiler arguments, causing the linker to fail to resolve some necessary symbols.

#include <gtest/gtest.h>

TEST(link, please)
{
}

In this snippet, the compiler (or more specifically the linker) complains about the main function being undefined, although typically this function is defined in the gtest_main library that comes with Google Test.

I believe the Google Test libraries that should be added are gtest, gtest_main, gmock and gmock_main.

Note that the Google Test _headers_ are found correctly, since the include path is passed to the compiler arguments. The missing part is the actual library binaries (.a or .so files).

This mainly happens because we currently don't support library binaries and linking to them.

cough don't tell anyone, but try it on beta https://godbolt.org/beta/z/9c6jbY cough
