v3.15.0

To make this all work, I had to remove the stringification cache
from matchers. In theory, this can cause performance penalty in
cases where single matcher instance is stringified multiple times,
but in practice this does not happen much, and the difference is
surprisingly small anyway, because the performance of stringification
is already horrible and full of allocating strings just to throw
them away.

The matcher combinators need P2738 from C++26 to be `constexpr`.

+# Benchmarks of Catch2
+
+This folder holds benchmarks for Catch2. It should not be built for the
+small(er) test sets, as it is only relevant for running (mainly runtime)
+benchmarks.
+
+Below you will find some practical examples using 
+[hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine) to determine the
+performance of various scenarios. They assume two parallel checkouts, one
+named `Catch2-old` and the other `Catch2-new`. You will need to change
+the paths to work on your own machine.
+
+
+## Runtime benchmarks
+
+The runtime benchmarks currently consist of few different `TEST_CASE`s,
+each with a simple loop over different assertion type. They are compiled
+into two binaries, one for assertion slow path and one for assertion fast
+path.
+
+
+### Assumptions and notes about real-world usage
+
+The basic assertion macro, `REQUIRE` (and `CHECK`) is the most common one,
+by far. Thus, it is the most important one to run quickly. It is probably
+followed by the matcher macro, `REQUIRE_THAT`.
+
+The most common result of an assertion is that it passes. Even if it is
+stringified and reported, that is most likely due to some listener/reporter
+that wants the string representation, not because it failed.
+
+The performance of both Debug and Release builds are important; users
+will run tests in both. LTO runtime performance is not too important,
+but compile time perf is.
+
+
+### Examples
+
+**Compare performance of `REQUIRE` in slow path, debug build**
+```text
+hyperfine --warmup 2 --shell none --parameter-list version old,new '/home/xarn/benches/Catch2-{version}/build-debug/benchmarks/AssertionsSlowPath -o /dev/null "REQUIRE"'
+```
+
+**Compare performance of `REQUIRE_THAT` in fast path, release build**
+```text
+hyperfine --warmup 2 --shell none --parameter-list version old,new '/home/xarn/benches/Catch2-{version}/build-release/benchmarks/AssertionsFastPath -o /dev/null "REQUIRE_THAT"'
+```
+
+**Compare performance of `REQUIRE` with stringification enabled, release build**
+```text
+hyperfine --warmup 2 --shell none --parameter-list version old,new '/home/xarn/benches/Catch2-{version}/build-release/benchmarks/AssertionsFastPath -s -o /dev/null "REQUIRE"'
+```
+_Note that we redirect the output to `/dev/null` to reduce the overhead of the actual output printing, to see just the impact of stringification._
+
+TODO:
+  * Start empty binary (set up cost base)
+  * Start binary with X (100/1k/10k) tests (test registration cost)
+  * Section tracking
+
+## Compilation benchmarks
+
+As tests are often iterated upon and relinked, the compilation cost of
+Catch2 is also important.
+
+
+### Examples
+
+**Compare overhead of including `catch_test_macros.hpp`**
+```text
+hyperfine --warmup 2 --shell none --parameter-list version old,new '/usr/bin/c++  -I/home/xarn/benches/Catch2-{version}/src/catch2/.. -I/home/xarn/benches/Catch2-{version}/build-debug/generated-includes -g -o /dev/null -c /home/xarn/benches/Catch2-{version}/benchmarks/only_include.cpp'
+```
+
+**Compare build time of Catch2's `SelfTest` test suite, Debug build**
+```text
+hyperfine --warmup 2 --parameter-list version old,vas --prepare 'find ~/benches/Catch2-{version}/tests/SelfTest -type f -name "*.cpp" -exec touch {} +' 'ninja -j 1 -C ~/benches/Catch2-{version}/build-debug'
+```

+# How to run specific section/generator
+
+> The generator and generic path filtering was added in Catch2 3.13.0
+
+Catch2 supports picking specific path through a test case by filtering
+sections and generator indices to run through. This is done by using one
+of the three commandline parameters, one or more times.
+
+```
+-c, --section           <section name>
+-g, --generator-index   <index in generator>
+-p, --path-filter       <path filter spec>
+```
+
+All the variants form a shared stack of filters, but if you use only
+`-c`/`--section` form to specify section filters, you will get the old
+behaviour, which does not affect generators at all. If you also use either
+`-g`/`--generator-index`, or `-p`/`--path-filter`, you will get the new
+behaviour, which can also filter generator elements.
+
+Both the new and old filter behaviours include some potentially surprising
+things:
+  * Code outside of sections being skipped will still be executed. E.g.
+    any setup code in the TEST_CASE that lives outside of sections.
+  * Path filters filter the prefix of the path. So if you specify single
+    filter, it affects only the top level sections/generator, with their
+    child sections/generators being unfiltered.
+  * Path filters are independent of test case selection, Catch2 will try
+    to follow the path filters in all selected test cases. This means
+    that if you specify path filters without a test case filter, Catch2
+    will try to apply the path filters inside every registered test case.
+
+## Old behaviour
+
+> The old behaviour was deprecated in Catch2 3.13.0
+
+```
+-c, --section           <section name>
+```
+The argument to `-c`/`--section` can be any arbitrary string. When Catch2
+is deciding whether to enter a section, it will check its trimmed name
+against the appropriate trimmed section filter. If they are the same,
+the section can be opened. If not, Catch2 will skip over that section.
+
+
+### Examples
+
+#### Simple section nesting
+Given
+```cpp
+TEST_CASE( "foo" ) {
+    REQUIRE( true );
+    SECTION( "A" ) {
+        SECTION( "A1" ) { REQUIRE( true ); }
+        SECTION( "A2" ) { REQUIRE( true ); }
+    }
+    SECTION( "B" ) {
+        SECTION( "B1" ) { REQUIRE( true ); }
+        SECTION( "B2" ) { REQUIRE( true ); }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+* `./tests foo -c A` runs section "A" and both of its subsections,
+   resulting in 4 assertions.
+* `./tests foo -c A -c B` runs section "A", but none of its subsections,
+   resulting in 1 assertion (the one before "A").
+* `./tests foo -c A -c A1` runs section "A" and only the "A1" subsection,
+   resulting in 2 assertions.
+
+
+#### Sections with nested generators
+Note that old behaviour completely _ignores_ generators. This means both
+that they can't be filtered, but also that they aren't taken into account
+for the filter depth. In other words, given
+```cpp
+TEST_CASE( "bar" ) {
+    REQUIRE( true );
+    SECTION( "A" ) { REQUIRE( true ); }
+    SECTION( "B" ) {
+        auto i = GENERATE( 1, 2, 3 );
+        DYNAMIC_SECTION( "i=" << i ) {
+            REQUIRE( true );
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+* `./tests bar -c A` results in 2 assertions.
+* `./tests bar -c B -c i=2` results in 4 assertions, because the whole
+  generator in section "B" has to be used up, but the dynamic section is
+  only entered when the generator returns 2 as the value for `i`.
+* `./tests bar -c B -c i=4` results in 3 assertions, because the assertion
+  outside of section is executed every time the test case is entered, and
+  the generator forces the test case to rerun 3 times before it is used up,
+  even though the dynamic section will never be entered.
+
+
+#### Section with sibling generators
+For cases where sections have sibling generators, the filtering can get
+even more surprising.
+```cpp
+TEST_CASE( "qux" ) {
+    REQUIRE( true );
+    SECTION( "A" ) { REQUIRE( true ); }
+    auto i = GENERATE( 1, 2, 3 );
+    DYNAMIC_SECTION( "i=" << i ) {
+        REQUIRE( true );
+    }
+}
+```
+* `./tests qux -c A` results in **4** assertions, because section "A" is
+  entered once, but the sibling generator has to be exhausted, and
+  the first assertion is executed once per generator element.
+* `./tests qux -c i=2` also results in 4 assertions. Once again,
+  the generator has to be exhausted and the dynamic section is entered
+  once.
+
+
+## New behaviour
+
+> The new behaviour was introduced in Catch2 3.13.0
+
+```
+-g, --generator-index   <index in generator>
+-p, --path-filter       <path filter spec>
+```
+
+The argument to `-g`/`--generator-index` must be either a non-negative
+number, which is interpreted as the index of the desired element from
+the generator, or "\*", which allows all elements from the generator.
+
+Providing index outside of the generator is an error.
+
+The argument to `-p`/`--path-filter` must start with either "c:" for
+a section filter, or with "g:" for a generator filter. Everything past
+the colon is then parsed as either a section filter, or a generator filter.
+
+Note that using `p`/`--path-filter` enables new filtering behaviour, even
+if it is only used to add section filters.
+
+There is another important difference between filtering out sections and
+generators. A section can be left un-entered, but a generator always has
+to be active. For this reason, if generator fails a filter
+(e.g. there is a section filter at given depth instead), it has to stop
+the execution of the test case. Currently, this is done via `SKIP()`
+equivalent, causing the section to be considered skipped.
+
+
+### Examples
+
+#### Nested generators
+```cpp
+TEST_CASE( "waldo" ) {
+    auto i = GENERATE( 1, 10, 100 );
+    auto j = GENERATE( 2, 20, 200 );
+    CAPTURE( i, j );
+    REQUIRE( true );
+}
+```
+* `./tests waldo -g 1` results in 3 assertions, with `i := 10`, because
+  the second nested generator is unfiltered.
+* `./tests waldo -g 1 -g 2` results in 1 assertion, with `i := 10, j := 200`.
+* `./tests waldo -g * -g 2` results in 3 assertions, all with `j := 200`.
+* `./tests waldo -g 1 -g *` results in 3 assertions, all with `i := 10`.
+* `./tests waldo -g 3` results in 1 **failed** assertion, because the first
+  generator does not have 3rd element.
+* `./tests waldo -g * -g 3` results in 3 **failed** assertions, as the
+  second generator does not have 3rd element, but we have to exhaust the
+  first generator.
+
+#### Generator with a nested dynamic section
+```cpp
+TEST_CASE( "grault" ) {
+    REQUIRE( true );
+    auto i = GENERATE( 1, 2, 3 );
+    DYNAMIC_SECTION( "i=" << i ) {
+        REQUIRE( true );
+    }
+}
+```
+* `./tests grault -p g:1` results in 2 assertions, as there is no filter
+  on the dynamic section.
+* `./tests grault -p g:1 -p c:i=2` results in 2 assertions, as the filter
+  on the dynamic section matches the element given from the generator.
+* `./tests grault -p g:1 -p c:i=3` results in 1 assertion, as the generator
+  is limited to only try `i := 2` and the dynamic section is filtered out.
+
+#### Section with a sibling generator
+Because generators have to stop test execution when they don't pass filter,
+it is impossible to run only a section with sibling generator without
+triggering a test case skip. Consider this test case from an earlier example:
+```cpp
+TEST_CASE( "qux" ) {
+    REQUIRE( true );
+    SECTION( "A" ) { REQUIRE( true ); }
+    auto i = GENERATE( 1, 2, 3 );
+    DYNAMIC_SECTION( "i=" << i ) {
+        REQUIRE( true );
+    }
+}
+```
+* `./tests qux -p g:1` results in 2 assertions, as the dynamic section is
+  entered only once.
+* `./tests qux -p g:1 -p c:i=1` results in 1 assertion, as the dynamic
+  section filter is incompatible with the generator filter.
+* `./tests qux -p c:A` results in 2 assertions **and a skipped test case**.
+  This is because the generator is sibling to section "A", and thus reads
+  the same section filter. However, it is not a section and as thus cannot
+  proceed.
+* `./tests qux -p c:i=2` results in 1 assertion **and a skipped test case**.
+  Once again, the first filter in the filter stack is a section filter,
+  and thus the generator cannot proceed.
+
+Compare this with the old filter behaviour, where `./tests qux -c i=2`
+would instead result in 4 assertions, because the generator would go
+through all elements.

+### Adding a reproducer to random tests
+
+If you use generators to generate random inputs for testing, you might
+want to combine them with specific inputs, e.g. reproducers for previously
+found issues.
+
+Because `GENERATE` accepts multiple values/generators, the basic case is simple:
+```cpp
+const int input = GENERATE(1, 2, take(10, random(10, 10'000'000)));
+```
+This will set `input` first to "1", then to "2", and then to 10 random
+integers.
+
+But if you process the random inputs further (e.g. via `map`), you can't
+rely on `GENERATE`'s support for multiple generators. In that case, you
+have to use the `cat` generator combinator.
+```cpp
+const auto input = GENERATE(
+    map( foo,
+         cat( value( 4 ), take( 10, random( 10, 10'000'000 ) ) ) ) );
+```
+This will set `input` first to `foo(4)`, before transforming the 10 random
+integers through `foo`.

+## Constexpr matchers
+
+> Support for constexpr matchers was introduced in Catch2 3.15.0
+
+When compiled for C++20, the new-style matchers (can) support `constexpr`
+matching, albeit not `constexpr` stringification. The matcher combinators
+require C++26 (or at least P2738) to be `constexpr` compatible.
+
+This can be used together with the `STATIC_REQUIRE_THAT` macro to write
+matcher-based static assertions like this:
+
+```cpp
+TEST_CASE("Constexpr support for matchers", "[constexpr][matchers]") {
+    STATIC_REQUIRE_THAT( 1, MatchAll() );
+    STATIC_REQUIRE_THAT( 1, MatchAll() || MatchAll() );
+    STATIC_REQUIRE_THAT( 1, !!MatchAll() );
+}
+```
+
+### First party constexpr matchers
+
+Some (but not all) of Catch2's generic matchers support `constexpr`
+matching. Currently, this includes:
+
+* `IsEmpty()`
+* `SizeIs(size_t target_size)`, `SizeIs(Matcher size_matcher)`
+* `AllMatch(Matcher element_matcher)`
+* `AnyMatch(Matcher element_matcher)`
+* `NoneMatch(Matcher element_matcher)`
+* `AllTrue()`, `AnyTrue()`, `NoneTrue()`
+* `Contains(T&& target_element, Comparator = std::equal_to<>{})`
+* `Contains(Matcher element_matcher)`
+* `RangeEquals(TargetRangeLike&&, Comparator = std::equal_to<>{})`

+## 3.15.0
+
+### Fixes
+* Fixed ambiguous overload issue with `std::optional<T>` in C++26. (#3095)
+  * Since `std::optional` was turned into a range, the partial specialization of `StringMaker` for range-like types and for `std::optional<T>` were in conflict.
+
+### Improvements
+* Simplified `CATCH_REGISTER_ENUM` internals for faster compilation and retrieval.
+* Successful assertion are slightly (1-2%) faster.
+* Generic (new-style) matchers support constexpr matching in C++20.
+  * Combining matchers requires C++26.
+  * Catch2-provided generic matchers are all constexpr enabled.
+* Added `STATIC_REQUIRE_THAT` for compile-time matcher assertions.
+  * This requires the compiler to support enough `constexpr` for matchers, see above.
+
+
+## 3.14.0
+
+### Fixes
+* Added missing `<cstdint>` includes. (#3078)
+* Fixed suppression of empty variadic macro arguments warning on Clang <19. (#3085)
+* Fixed `catch_discover_tests` failing during `PRE_TEST` discovery if a target does not have discoverable tests. (#3075)
+* Fixed build of the main library failing with `CATCH_CONFIG_PREFIX_ALL` defined. (#3087)
+* JUnit reporter outputs single failed (errored/skipped) assertion per test case. (#1919)
+
+### Improvements
+* The default implementation of `--list-tags` and `--list-listeners` has a quiet variant.
+* Suppressed the new Clang warning about `__COUNTER__` usage. (#3076)
+* Line-wrapping counts utf-8 codepoints instead of bytes. (#1022, #3086)
+  * Combining character sequences are still miscounted, but Catch2 does not aim to fully support Unicode.
+
+
+## 3.13.0
+
+### Fixes
+* `--benchmark-samples 0` no longer hard crashes (#3056)
+  * The CLI validation fails instead.
+* Fixed warning suppression macros being doubly defined when using Clang on Windows (#3060)
+
+### Improvements
+* Suppressed static analysis 26426 diagnostic for MSVC (#3057)
+* Renamed the internal deprecation macro from `DEPRECATED` to `CATCH_DEPRECATED` to avoid conflicts (#3058)
+* Added `UNSCOPED_CAPTURE` macro (#2954)
+* Added `ConcatGenerator` to combine multiple separate generator into one
+  * The short form is `cat`
+* Generators can now jump forward to nth element efficiently
+  * Custom generators that can jump forward efficiently should override `skipToNthElementImpl`
+* Generators can declare themselves infinite
+  * The generator base defaults to declaring itself finite for backwards compatibility
+  * Custom generators should override `isFinite()` to return the proper value
+* Added `--warn InfiniteGenerators` to error out on `GENERATE` being given an infinite generator
+* Extended options for section filtering from CLI to include generators
+  * The user can specify which element from the generator to use in the test case
+  * See documentation for how the new filters work and how they can be specified
+* `MapGenerator` only calls the mapping function if the output will be used
+
+
+## 3.12.0
+
+### Fixes
+* Fixed unscoped messages after a passing fast-pathed assertion being lost.
+* Fixed the help string for `--order` to mention random order as the default. (#3045)
+* Fixed small documentation typos. (#3039)
+* Fixed compilation with `CATCH_CONFIG_THREAD_SAFE_ASSERTIONS` for older C++ standards.
+* Fixed a thread-safety issue with message macros being used too early after the process starts.
+* Fixed automatic configuration to properly handle PlayStation platform. (#3054)
+* **Fixed the _weird_ behaviour of section filtering when specifying multiple filters.** (#3038)
+  * See #3038 for more details.
+
+### Improvements
+* Added `lifetimebound` attribute to various places.
+  * As an example, compiler that supports lifetime analysis will now diagnose invalid use of Matcher combinators.
+* Minor compile-time improvements to stringification. (#3028)
+  * `std::tuple` printer does not recurse.
+  * Some implementation details were outlined into the cpp file.
+* Global variables will only be marked with `thread_local` in thread-safe builds. (#3044)
+
+### Miscellaneous
+* The thread safety support is no longer experimental.
+  * The new CMake option and C++ define is now `CATCH_CONFIG_THREAD_SAFE_ASSERTIONS`.
+
+
+## 3.11.0
+
+### Fixes
+* Fixed building on non-desktop GDK platforms (#3029)
+* Fixed message macros being susceptible to race in specific scenario (#3031)
+* Catch2's SEH filter will call the previously installed filter after reporting the error (#3033)
+
+### Improvements
+* Handling of scoped messages (e.g. `CAPTURE`) is a bit faster.
+* Better out-of-the-box support for QNX (#2953)
+* Improved performance of assertions by up-to 10%
+  * Release mode assertion fast-path sees the biggest improvement.
+* Faster processing of non-escaped strings in `--invisibles` mode.
+* Added support for Bazel's `TEST_RANDOM_SEED` env var (#3021)
+* Added support for Bazel's `TEST_PREMATURE_EXIT_FILE` env var (#3020)
+  * This creates a file that is deleted if the tests exit normally, but stays around if the process dies unexpectedly.
+  * This functionality is also exposed through CLI as `--premature-exit-guard-file`
+
+### Miscellaneous
+* **[Tuple.app](https://tuple.app/catch2) has sponsored Catch2**
+
+
+## 3.10.0
+
+### Fixes
+* pkg-config files will take `DESTDIR` env var into account when selecting install destination (#3006, #3019)
+* Changed `filter` to store the provided predicate by value (#3002, #3005)
+  * This is done to avoid dangling-by-default behaviour when `filter` is used inside `GENERATE_COPY`/`GENERATE_REF`.
+
+### Improvements
+* Escaping XML and JSON output is faster when the strings do not need escaping.
+  * The improvement starts at about 3x throughput, up to 10x for long strings.
+* Message macros (`INFO`, `CAPTURE`, `WARN`, `SUCCEED`, etc) are now thread safe.

+threads to finish due to `std::jthread`'s destructor joining the spawned
