Expressions prefixed with `!` cannot be decomposed. If you have a type
|
||||
that is convertible to bool and you want to assert that it evaluates to
|
||||
false, use the two forms below:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **REQUIRE_FALSE(** _expression_ **)** and
|
||||
* **CHECK_FALSE(** _expression_ **)**
|
||||
|
||||
Evaluates the expression and records the _logical NOT_ of the result. If an exception is thrown it is caught, reported, and counted as a failure.
|
||||
(these forms exist as a workaround for the fact that `!` prefixed expressions cannot be decomposed).
|
||||
Note that there is no reason to use these forms for plain bool variables,
|
||||
because there is no added value in decomposing them.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
Status ret = someFunction();
|
||||
REQUIRE_FALSE(ret); // ret must evaluate to false, and Catch2 will print
|
||||
// out the value of ret if possibly
|
||||
```
|
||||
REQUIRE_FALSE( thisReturnsFalse() );
|
||||
```

||||

||||

### Other limitations

||||
Note that expressions containing either of the binary logical operators,
|

`&&` or `||`, cannot be decomposed and will not compile. The reason behind

## Floating point comparisons

Comparing floating point numbers is complex, and [so it has its own
