`NameAndLocationRef` is pretty large type, so even in release build,
it is unlikely to be passed in registers. In addition to the fact
that some platforms currently do not allow passing even small types
in register (Windows ABI!!), it is better to pass it as a ref,
effectively passing around a pointer.
This eliminates 1945 (432709 -> 430764) allocations from running
`./tests/SelfTest -o /dev/null`. In general terms, this saves
an allocation every time an unvisited `SECTION` is passed, which
means that the saved allocations are quadratic in number of sibling
(same level) `SECTION`s in a test case.
Now we delay allocating owning `NameAndLocation` instances until
we construct a new tracker (because a tracker's lifetime can be
significantly different from the underlying tracked-thing's name).
This saves 4239 allocations (436948 -> 432709) when running
`./tests/SelfTest -o /dev/null`, at some cost to code clarity
due to introducing a new ref type, `NameAndLocationRef`.
When running `./tests/SelfTest -o /dev/null`, this saves 1272
allocations (437439 -> 437167). In general, this saves multiple
allocations per end of an entered `SECTION`, if the section name
was too long for SSO, because `RunContext::sectionEnded` can then
move the section's name further down the callstack.
* Add new SKIP macro for skipping tests at runtime
This adds a new `SKIP` macro for dynamically skipping tests at runtime.
The "skipped" status of a test case is treated as a first-class citizen,
like "succeeded" or "failed", and is reported with a new color on the
console.
* Don't show "skipped assertions" in console/compact reporters
Also extend skip tests to cover a few more use cases.
* Return exit code 4 if all test cases are skipped
* Use LightGrey for the skip colour
This isn't great, but is better than the deep blue that was borderline
invisible on dark backgrounds. The fix is to redo the colouring
a bit, including introducing light-blue that is actually visible.
* Add support for explicit skips in all reporters
* --allow-running-no-tests also allows all tests to be skipped
* Add docs for SKIP macro, deprecate IEventListener::skipTest

This fixes multiple issues with random generators, with the most
important one being that multiple nested generators could return
values from the same sequence, due to internal implementation
details of `GENERATE`, and how they interact with test case
paths.
The cost of doing this is that given this simple `TEST_CASE`,
```cpp
TEST_CASE("foo") {
auto i = GENERATE(take(10, random(0, 100));
SECTION("A") {
auto j = GENERATE(take(10, random(0, 100));
}
SECTION("B") {
auto k = GENERATE(take(10, random(0, 100));
}
}
```
`k` will have different values between running the test as
a whole, e.g. with `./tests "foo"`, and running only the "B"
section with `./tests "foo" -c "B"`.
I consider this an acceptable cost, because the only alternative
would be very messy to implement, and add a lot of brittle and
complex code for relatively little benefit.
If this calculation changes, we will need to instead walk
the current tracker tree whenever a random generator is being
constructed, check for random generators on the path to root,
and take a seed from them.
This might become potentially useful in the future, when we want
to provide the ability to forward jump generators, to be able to
simply reproduce specific input to a test.
I am not yet sure how it would work, but the basic idea is that
it could be similar to the `-c` switch for selecting specific
`SECTION` in a test case.
This means that e.g. for `TEST_CASE` with two sibling `SECTION`s
the event will fire twice, because the `TEST_CASE` will be entered
twice.
Closes#2107 (the event mentioned there already exists, but this
is its counterpart that we also want to provide to users)
Apart from being clearer, it also improves the overall codesize
of the implementation library, and should improve the performance
as well, by removing one level of indirection.
Because new glibc has changed `MINSIGSTKSZ` to be a syscall instead
of being constant, the signal posix handling needed changes, as it
used the value in constexpr context, for deciding size of an array.
It would be simple to fix it by having the handler determine the
signal handling stack size and allocate the memory every time the
handler is being installed, but that would add another allocation
and a syscall every time a test case is entered.
Instead, I split apart the idea of preparing fatal error handlers,
and engaging them, so that the memory can be allocated only once
and still be guarded by RAII.
Also turns out that Catch2's use of `MINSIGSTKSZ` was wrong, and
we should've been using `SIGSTKSZ` the whole time, which we use now.
Closes#2178
The problem was that under specific circumstances, namely that none
of their children progressed, `GeneratorTracker` will not progress.
This was changed recently, to allow for code like this, where a
`SECTION` follows a `GENERATE` at the same level:
```cpp
SECTION("A") {}
auto a = GENERATE(1, 2);
SECTION("B") {}
```
However, this interacted badly with `SECTION` filters (`-c foo`),
as they could deactivate all `SECTION`s below a generator, and thus
stop it from progressing forever. This commit makes GeneratorTracker
check whether there are any filters active, and if they are, it checks
whether its section-children can ever run.
Fixes#2025
This is not nearly all of them, because IWYU does not support the
way Catch2 manages includes -- it expects that non-system includes
are done using `#include "foo/bar/baz.hpp"`, while Catch2 uses
`<foo/bar/baz.hpp>`. This causes trouble, because IWYU suggests
removing every single internal header, and then adding them again,
but using `""` in the include directive... the resulting suggestions
cannot be used without a lot of manual work, as they are largely
bogus.
For bonus points, IWYU also _loves_ to suggest kinda-random stdlib
headers for `size_t` and similar. Still, the resulting inclusion
graph is somewhat better than it was before.
This means that code such as
```cpp
TEST_CASE() {
SECTION("first") { SUCCEED(); }
auto _ = GENERATE(1, 2);
SECTION("second") { SUCCEED(); }
}
```
will run and report 3 assertions, 1 from section "first" and 2
from section "second". This also applies for greater and potentially
more confusing nesting, but fundamentally it is up to the user to
avoid overly complex and confusing nestings, just as with `SECTION`s.
The old behaviour of `GENERATE` as first thing in a `TEST_CASE`,
`GENERATE` not followed by a `SECTION`, etc etc should be unchanged.
Closes#1938
* Successive executions of the same `GENERATE` macro (e.g. because
of a for loop) no longer lead to multiple nested generators.
* The same line can now contain multiple `GENERATE` macros without
issues.
Fixes#1913
