This rework changes two important things
1) the output redirect is deactivated while control is given to the reporters.
This means that combining reporters that write to stdout with capturing
reporters, e.g. `./tests -s -r console -r junit::out=junit.xml`, no
longer leads to the capturing reporter seeing all the output from
the other reporter captured.
Trying this with the `SelfTest` binary would previously lead to JUnit
spending **hours** trying to escape all of ConsoleReporter's output and
write it to the output file. I actually ended up killing the process
after 3 hours, during which the JUnit reporter wrote something like 50 MBs
of output to a file.
2) The redirect object's lifetime is tied to the `RunContext`, instead
of being constructed for every partial test case run separately.
This has no effect on the basic StreamRedirect, but improves the FileRedirect
significantly. Previously, running many tests in single process with this
redirect (e.g. running `SelfTest -r junit`) would cause later tests to
always fail before starting, due to exceeding the limit of temporary files.
For the current `SelfTest` binary, the old implementation would lead to
**295** test failures from not being able to initiate the redirect. The
new implementation completely eliminates them.
----
There is one downside to the new implementation of FileRedirect, specific
to Linux. Running the `SelfTest` binary on Linux causes 3-4 tests to have
no captured stdout/stderr, even though the tests were supposed to be
writing there (there was no output to the actual stdout/stderr either,
the output was just completely lost).
Since this never happen for smaller test case sets, nor does it reproduce
on other platforms, this implementation is still strictly better than
the old one, and thus it can get reasonably merged.
This PR introduces a new `TEST_CASE` macro called `TEST_CASE_PERSISTENT_FIXTURE`. `TEST_CASE_PERSISTENT_FIXTURE` offers the same functionality as `TEST_CASE_METHOD` except for one difference. The object on which the test method is invoked is only created once for all invocations of the test case. The object is created just after the `testCaseStarting` event is broadcast and the object is destroyed just before the `testCaseEnding` event is broadcast.
The main motivation for this new functionality is to allow `TEST_CASE`s to do expensive setup and teardown once per `TEST_CASE`, without having to resort to abusing event listeners or static function variables with manual initialization.
Implements #1602

Closes#1210
When a signal is caught, the destructors of Sections will not be called.
Thus, we must call `sectionEndedEarly` manually for those Sections.
Example test case:
```
TEST_CASE("broken") {
SECTION("section") {
/// Use illegal cpu instruction
__asm__ __volatile__("ud2" : : : "memory");
}
}
```
Classes will automatically inherit the virtual-ness of their base
class destructors. If the base class already has a virtual
destructor and the derived class needs default destructor semantics
then the derived class can omit defining the destructor in favor of
the compiler automatically defining it.
This has an additional benefit of reenabling move semantics. The
presence of a user-specified destructor automatically disables move
operations.
* AssertionEnd does not reset the assertion info yet. That is done after populateReaction. And reset assertion info would also reset the result disposition to normal, so that any uncaught exception would be reported as failure
* Approving test output changes due to added unit tests
* Unit tests to throw std::runtime_error instead of std::exception
* Add a unit test to test incomplete assertion handler

* Split out BenchmarkInfo and BenchmarkStats to their own header
* Outline BenchmarkStats<> declaration to separate header
* Split out TestRunInfo into its own header
These changes let us remove the large `interfaces_reporter.hpp`
include from `benchmark.hpp`, and replace it with
`interfaces_capture.hpp` in `run_context.hpp`.
I also cleaned out `interfaces_repoter.hpp` from reporter headers
that depend on `reporter_common_base.hpp`. This will not change
anything in the actual inclusion set, but makes it logically
more consistent.
`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
