[edk2-devel] [PATCH 2/2] UnitTestFrameworkPkg/Readme.md: Remove the mention of the gtest main() limitation

["Pedro Falcato" <pedro.falcato@gmail.com>]

As of the previous commit, this limitation is no longer a thing.
You can now write gtest unit tests with multiple files and no need for
any hack such as #include.

-However, while GoogleTest does not require test suites or test cases to be
-registered, there is still one rule within EDK II that currently needs to be
-followed. This rule is that all tests for a given GoogleTest application must
-be contained within the same source file that contains the `main()` function
-shown above. These tests can be written directly in the file or a `#include`
-can be used to add them into the file indirectly.
-
-The reason for this is due to EDK II taking the host application INF file and
-first compiling all of its source files into a static library. This static
-library is then linked into the final host application. The problem with this
-method is that only the tests in the object file containing the `main()`
-function are linked into the final host application. This is because the other
-tests are contained in their own object files within the static library and
-they have no symbols in them that the final host application depends on, so
-those object files are not linked into the final host application.

 ### GoogleTest - A Simple Test Case
 
 Below is a sample test case from `SampleGoogleTestHost`.
