This includes always compiling the ANSI and None colour implementations, as they don't need to touch any platform specific APIs, and removing their respective compile-time configuration options. Because the Win32 colour implementation requires Win32-specific APIs, it is still hidden behind a compile-time toggle, `CATCH_CONFIG_COLOUR_WIN32` (renamed from `..._COLOUR_WINDOWS`). The commandline options for colours were also changed. The option now uses different name, and allows to select between different implementations, rather than changing whether the compiled-in colour implementation is used through "yes/no/default" options.
What's the Catch2?
Catch2 is mainly a unit testing framework for C++, but it also provides basic micro-benchmarking features, and simple BDD macros.
Catch2's main advantage is that using it is both simple and natural. Tests autoregister themselves and do not have to be named with valid identifiers, assertions look like normal C++ code, and sections provide a nice way to share set-up and tear-down code in tests.
Catch2 v3 is being developed!
You are on the devel branch, where the next major version, v3, of
Catch2 is being developed. As it is a significant rework, you will
find that parts of this documentation are likely still stuck on v2.
For stable (and documentation-matching) version of Catch2, go to the
v2.x branch.
For migrating from the v2 releases to v3, you should look at our documentation. It provides a simple guidelines on getting started, and collects most common migration problems.
