Now that Catch2 is a proper library, we can always build the full
library (comparatively minor slowdown) and the user can avoid
including benchmarking headers to avoid the compilation slowdown.
Now that the recommended distribution and usage method is proper
library, users can just avoid including the matcher headers to get
basically the same effect.
* Units from <ratio> are no longer redeclared in our own namespace
* The default clock is `steady_clock`, not `high_resolution_clock`,
because, as HH says "high_resolution_clock is useless. If you want
measure the passing of time, use steady_clock. If you want user
friendly time, use system_clock".
* Benchmarking support is opt-in, not opt-out, to avoid the large
(~10%) compile time penalty.
* Benchmarking-related options in CLI are always present, to decrease
the amount of code that is only compiled conditionally and making
the whole shebang more maintainble.
Changes done to Nonius:
* Moved things into "Catch::Benchmark" namespace
* Benchmarks were integrated with `TEST_CASE`/`SECTION`/`GENERATE` macros
* Removed Nonius's parameters for benchmarks, Generators should be used instead
* Added relevant methods to the reporter interface (default-implemented, to avoid
breaking existing 3rd party reporters)
* Async processing is guarded with `_REENTRANT` macro for GCC/Clang, used by default
on MSVC
* Added a macro `CATCH_CONFIG_DISABLE_BENCHMARKING` that removes all traces of
benchmarking from Catch
The StringMaker is off by default and can be enabled by a new macro `CATCH_CONFIG_ENABLE_VARIANT_STRINGMAKER`, to avoid increasing the footprint of stringification machinery by default.
Android apparently does not support `std::to_string`, so we add a
small polyfill over it. Right now only the ULP matcher uses it,
but we have had plans to use it in `StringMaker<int>` and friends,
as it performs a lot better than `std::stringstream` based
stringification on MSVC.

Unlike the relatively non-invasive old way of capturing stdout/stderr,
this new way is also able to capture output from C's stdlib functions
such as `printf`. This is done by redirecting stdout and stderr file
descriptors to a file, and then reading this file back.
This approach has two sizeable drawbacks:
1) Performance, obviously. Previously an installed capture made the
program run faster (as long as it was then discarded), because a call
to `std::cout` did not result in text output to the console. This new
capture method in fact forces disk IO. While it is likely that any
modern OS will keep this file in memory-cache and might never actually
issue the IO to the backing storage, it is still a possibility and
calls to the file system are not free.
2) Nonportability. While POSIX is usually assumed portable, and this
implementation relies only on a very common parts of it, it is no
longer standard C++ (or just plain C) and thus might not be available
on some obscure platforms. Different C libs might also implement the
relevant functions in a less-than-useful ways (e.g. MS's `tmpfile`
generates a temp file inside system folder, so it will not work
without elevated privileges and thus is useless).
These two drawbacks mean that, at least for now, the new capture is
opt-in. To opt-in, `CATCH_CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL_REDIRECT` needs to be
defined in the implementation file.
Closes#1243
Also hides std::chrono, std::pair and std::chrono::* behind
new configuration macros, CATCH_CONFIG_ENABLE_*_STRINGMAKER
to avoid dragging in <utility>, <tuple> and <chrono> in common
path, unless requested.
* Assertions are defined into (void)(0) no-op
* SECTIONs are defined away (leaving {} as scope)
* TEST_CASEs and TEST_CASE_METHODs are not registered.
* REGISTER_TEST_CASE is defined into (void)(0) no-op
* METHOD_AS_TEST_CASE is defined away
The toggle is `CATCH_CONFIG_DISABLE_MATCHERS` and the only use is
to speed up compilation of small TUs. For large ones it is likely
insignificant, because the speed up is constant relative to
number of tests/assertions in TU.
