// 310-Gen-VariablesInGenerator.cpp // Shows how to use variables when creating generators. // Note that using variables inside generators is dangerous and should // be done only if you know what you are doing, because the generators // _WILL_ outlive the variables -- thus they should be either captured // by value directly, or copied by the generators during construction. #include #include // Lets start by implementing a parametrizable double generator class RandomDoubleGenerator : public Catch::Generators::IGenerator { std::minstd_rand m_rand; std::uniform_real_distribution<> m_dist; double current_number; public: RandomDoubleGenerator(double low, double high): m_rand(std::random_device{}()), m_dist(low, high) { static_cast(next()); } double const& get() const override; bool next() override { current_number = m_dist(m_rand); return true; } }; // Avoids -Wweak-vtables double const& RandomDoubleGenerator::get() const { return current_number; } // Also provide a nice shortcut for creating the generator Catch::Generators::GeneratorWrapper random(double low, double high) { return Catch::Generators::GeneratorWrapper(std::unique_ptr>(new RandomDoubleGenerator(low, high))); } TEST_CASE("Generate random doubles across different ranges", "[generator][example][advanced]") { // Workaround for old libstdc++ using record = std::tuple; // Set up 3 ranges to generate numbers from auto r = GENERATE(table({ record{3, 4}, record{-4, -3}, record{10, 1000} })); // This will not compile (intentionally), because it accesses a variable // auto number = GENERATE(take(50, random(r.first, r.second))); // We have to manually register the generators instead // Notice that we are using value capture in the lambda, to avoid lifetime issues auto number = Catch::Generators::generate( CATCH_INTERNAL_LINEINFO, [=]{ using namespace Catch::Generators; return makeGenerators(take(50, random(std::get<0>(r), std::get<1>(r)))); } ); REQUIRE(std::abs(number) > 0); } // Compiling and running this file will result in 150 successful assertions
