Previously, string literals and `std::string`s would match the
template variant, which would serialize them into a stream and then
call the `StringRef` overload for resulting string. This caused
bunch of codebloat and unnecessary pessimization for common usage.
This introduces a potential lifetime risk when using the API, but
the intended way to use the `XmlEncode` class is to use it directly,
e.g. `out << XmlEncode(some-text-argument)`, not to store it around.
The benefit is that we avoid allocations for strings that do not fit
into SSO for given platform.
When Catch2 is used as a CMake subproject (via add_subdirectory) and is not built in development mode (CATCH_DEVELOPMENT_BUILD) CTest is not required for the build, as testing is off. When CTest is included it creates various targets (around 20) which are shown in IDEs such as Clion and pollute the list of configurations.
This patch conditionally includes CTest only if Catch2 is built in development mode.
In some places the `std::flush` was not added, as it was sufficiently
obvious that the flush semantics are not intended. There are likely
other places where the flush semantics aren't intended, but that
is a cleanup for later.
More specifically, made the actual implementation of string-like
type handling take argument as `Catch::StringRef`, instead of
taking `std::string const&`.
This means that string-like types that are not `std::string` no
longer need to pay for an extra construction of `std::string`
(including the potential allocation), before they can be stringified.
The actual string stringification routine is now also better about
reserving sufficient space.
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
* [Issue 2154] Correct error when building with IBM's latest XLC compiler with xlclang++ front-end.
On AIX, the XLC 16.1.0.1 compiler considers the call to `std::abs` ambigious, so it needs help with a static_cast to the type of the template argument.

Parsing C++ with regex in CMake is error prone and regularly leads to silently
dropped (not run) test cases.
Going forward the function `catch_discover_tests` from `contrib/CMake.cmake`
should be used.
For more information see https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/issues/2092#issuecomment-747342765
Set `_CATCH_DISCOVER_TESTS_SCRIPT` helper variable globally. Otherwise in a
scoped call (like `add_subdirectory()`) the variable gets lost. This lost
variable results in a post build error with not much information to lead to the
root of the problem.
This enables the usage of the helper script with the following example structure
- CMakeLists.txt (project root with `add_subdirectory(external/catch2)`
- external/catch2
- CMakeLists.txt (contents listed below)
- contrib/Catch.cmake
- contrib/CatchAddTests.cmake
- catch2/catch.hpp
- tests
- CMakeLists.txt (add tests with `catch_discover_tests(${PROJECT_NAME})`)
contents of project specific helper `external/catch2/CMakeLists.txt`
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.1...${CMAKE_VERSION})
project(Catch2 LANGUAGES CXX VERSION 2.13.3)
add_library(Catch2 INTERFACE)
target_include_directories(Catch2
INTERFACE
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}>
)
# provide a namespaced alias for clients to 'link' against if catch is included as a sub-project
add_library(Catch2::Catch2 ALIAS Catch2)
include(contrib/Catch.cmake)
```
* Fixed problem with older compilers by explicitly installing the
right compiler version.
* Split apart simple builds that can be well described by a build
matrix, and builds that need special CMake defines or similar
special snowflake handling.
* Ported some extras + examples builds from TravisCI to GitHub
Actions.
This commit fixes issue that happens if the project above us uses the same variable name, thus confusing our script which see the variable scoped from the project including Catch2, rather than ours
See #2202
