catchorg/Catch2: v3.16.0

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

Fixes Multiple fixes in catch_discover_tests: Fixed _TESTS variable accumulating JSON fragments alongside test names. This was introduced during the refactoring in last release. Fixed _TESTS variable from catch_discover_tests not escaping test names to be properly parsed by CMake. This means that e.g. test names with semicolons will not be split into multiple partial test names. This bug has existed since the first version of the script. Fixed TEST_PREFIX/TEST_SUFFIX args having leading/trailing whitespace stripped. Added workaround for Clang 20-21 compile error with TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE (#3115, #3173) Improvements Verbosity option is now handled per reporter. The standalone --verbosity flag is propagated to all reporters as default, just like --colour-mode. The JSON reporter considers verbosity when listing tests. Another set of performance improvements for catch_discover_tests performance The newest version can register about 3k tests in 1 second, up from 1k previously. The initial TEST_CASE registration is slightly faster. Reduced overhead from first instantiating BENCHMARK machinery in a TU. Improved compilation speed when multiple templated test case macros use the same types. Rewrote implementation of the string matchers Case-sensitive matching (the default) is significantly faster. Case-insensitive matching is faster in most cases. Added optimizer barrier to calls into benchmarks without return values This limits the optimizations compiler can perform between calls into the benchmarked function, improving the accuracy. Added warning that checks for using sharding without deterministic test order (#3186)
