Currently Catch enables `CATCH_CONFIG_WINDOWS_SEH` only when compiled with MSVC, because some versions of MinGW do not have the necessary Win32 API support. Currently Catch enables `CATCH_CONFIG_WINDOWS_SEH` only when compiled with MSVC, because some versions of MinGW do not have the necessary Win32 API support.
At this moment, `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE` changes only the behaviour of the `-b` (`--break`) flag, making it break into debugger in a stack frame *below* the actual test, unlike the default behaviour, where the break into debugger occurs in the same stack frame as the actual test. `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE` has to be either defined, or not defined, in all translation units that are linked into single test binary, or the behaviour of setting `-b` flag will be unpredictable.
`CATCH_CONFIG_POSIX_SIGNALS` is on by default, except when Catch is compiled under `Cygwin`, where it is disabled by default (but can be force-enabled by defining `CATCH_CONFIG_POSIX_SIGNALS`). `CATCH_CONFIG_POSIX_SIGNALS` is on by default, except when Catch is compiled under `Cygwin`, where it is disabled by default (but can be force-enabled by defining `CATCH_CONFIG_POSIX_SIGNALS`).
`CATCH_CONFIG_WINDOWS_CRTDBG` is off by default. If enabled, Windows's CRT is used to check for memory leaks, and displays them after the tests finish running. `CATCH_CONFIG_WINDOWS_CRTDBG` is off by default. If enabled, Windows's CRT is used to check for memory leaks, and displays them after the tests finish running.
Just as with the C++11 conformance toggles, these toggles can be disabled by using `_NO_` form of the toggle, e.g. `CATCH_CONFIG_NO_WINDOWS_SEH`. Just as with the C++11 conformance toggles, these toggles can be disabled by using `_NO_` form of the toggle, e.g. `CATCH_CONFIG_NO_WINDOWS_SEH`.
## `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE`
Defining this flag speeds up compilation of test files by ~20%, by making 2 changes:
* The `-b` (`--break`) flag no longer makes Catch break into debugger in the same stack frame as the failed test, but rather in a stack frame *below*.
* The `REQUIRE` family of macros (`REQUIRE`, `REQUIRE_FALSE` and `REQUIRE_THAT`) no longer uses local try-catch block. This creates minor chance for false negative under certain conditions, when expression tested inside `REQUIRE` throws exception, that is then caught by user's code before it gets to the test runner. Example:
```cpp
TEST_CASE("False negative") {
try {
REQUIRE(throws() == "");
} catch (...) {}
}
```
This test case will succeed, reporting no assertions checked, instead of failing as it would without `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE`.
`CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE` has to be either defined, or not defined, in all translation units that are linked into single test binary, or the behaviour of setting `-b` flag will be unpredictable.
# Windows header clutter # Windows header clutter
On Windows Catch includes `windows.h`. To minimize global namespace clutter in the implementation file, it defines `NOMINMAX` and `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` before including it. You can control this behaviour via two macros: On Windows Catch includes `windows.h`.
