Add CMake option to generate surrogate TUs in development build
A surrogate TU is TU that includes 1 specific header, and does
nothing else. This is useful to verify that the header is
self-sufficient and does not require other headers to be included
for compilation to succeed.

Closes #2106
Closes #2166 (this is a better solution)

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.

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.

How to use it

This documentation comprises these three parts:
