Step 3 of the roadmap. MockFunction checks the calls of one function
against its expectations; CATCH3_MOCK_METHOD declares one for a virtual
member, and CATCH3_MOCK_FUNCTION and ScopedSeam serve free functions
behind a seam.

Expectations take values, Catch matchers, Any or Where; count calls with
Times, Between, AtLeast, AtMost, AnyTimes and Never; answer with Returns,
Does or Throws; and order calls across mocks with Sequence. A failure
goes through AssertionHandler at the line of the expectation, so every
report of the runner shows it. Met expectations count as passed
assertions. A test case that is already being left does not get unmet
expectations on top of its own failure.

Composed matchers refer to temporaries, so they are rejected at compile
time rather than left dangling. A call that fails returns a
value-initialized result, or leaves the test case when no such result
exists.

The failure paths are tested through the runner fixture, reading the
messages from its JSON report.

Give Catch3 its own build names and headers 2026-10-24T23:37:35+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-10-24T23:37:35+00:00 126dc333564cb72b5115d9a9242d66694694b6d0 Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3, and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets, two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names. Build names: - CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a minor version. - The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests), Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone. - Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3 and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own. - The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor). Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with Progmasoft names, so <catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp> is <Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp>, <catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp> is <Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp>, and interface headers are named after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft. src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share a file name. tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2. The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for #pragma once instead of checkguard. Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names. 
Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such
as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean
Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3,
and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets,
two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names.

Build names:
- CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and
  Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options
  CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and
  catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a
  minor version.
- The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests),
  Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake
  (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a
  catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone.
- Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main
  (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3
  and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own.
- The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing
  and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with
  the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by
  field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a
  thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor).

Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with
Progmasoft names, so <catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp> is
<Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp>, <catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp>
is <Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp>, and interface headers are named
after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards
became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft.
src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share
a file name.

tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2.
The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the
rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation
script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The
amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for
#pragma once instead of checkguard.

Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names.
Replace Catch2's runner with the Catch3 runner 2026-10-23T20:25:41+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-10-23T20:25:41+00:00 93d4e7dbebab867e0a7f59fc25308460a7a76280 Catch3 keeps Catch2's API for writing tests (test cases, sections, assertions, matchers, generators, listeners, benchmarks) and replaces its session, command line and reporters with a runner of its own. The runner starts the test binary again as worker processes that take the next test when they are free. A crash, an exit or a hang ends one test, not the run. On top of that it adds: - retries that tell deterministic, flaky and order-dependent failures apart, and a bisection that names the test leaving state behind; - a history of verdicts and durations, kept under a file lock, that drives automatic quarantine, adaptive time limits, predictive ordering, incremental runs, failure replay and analytics; - selection by change, past failure or prediction, dependency closure, and sharding by a stable hash or by recorded durations; - tags for serial and isolated tests, shared resources, dependencies, time limits and retries; - a failure category, a signature, an analysis and a replay command for every failure; - console, JUnit XML (with flakyFailure and rerunFailure), JSON and Chrome trace reports, and a versioned discovery listing (--list=json); - a temporary directory per test (TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP and TestTemporaryDirectory()); - Bazel's test environment: XML output file, test filter, sharding, seed, premature exit file and undeclared outputs. The command line is parsed by a hand-written, typed parser. Catch::Session remains as a thin facade over the runner for custom main functions. The result model in Progmasoft/Catch3/Results.hpp was rewritten around tests and attempts, and the JUnit writer now writes it. The property engine's example database is updated under a file lock with an atomic rename, so parallel workers can write it at the same time. Removed: Clara, the command-line and reporter-spec parsers, every reporter and CATCH_REGISTER_REPORTER, listing, text flow, console colour and width, the JSON and XML writers, sharding in the test registry, approval tests and their baselines, Conan packaging, and the unused third_party/clara.hpp. Listeners keep working; reporters' list and skip events are gone. The Catch2 library is now compiled as C++20; code that includes only Catch2's headers still needs C++14. Duplicate test cases are still refused at start-up. Version 0.3.0. ExtraTests now turn exceptions off for clang-cl with MSVC-style options, which -fno-exceptions did not do.

- a history of verdicts and durations, kept under a file lock, that drives
  automatic quarantine, adaptive time limits, predictive ordering,
  incremental runs, failure replay and analytics;
- selection by change, past failure or prediction, dependency closure,
  and sharding by a stable hash or by recorded durations;
- tags for serial and isolated tests, shared resources, dependencies,
  time limits and retries;
- a failure category, a signature, an analysis and a replay command for
  every failure;
- console, JUnit XML (with flakyFailure and rerunFailure), JSON and Chrome
  trace reports, and a versioned discovery listing (--list=json);
- a temporary directory per test (TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP and

The Catch2 library is now compiled as C++20; code that includes only
Catch2's headers still needs C++14. Duplicate test cases are still refused
at start-up. Version 0.3.0.

Add a native property-testing engine with choice-sequence shrinking 2026-10-22T14:39:46+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-10-22T14:39:46+00:00 afac14ac5a62d8d2e7efd2184ad34e16593eddfd Catch3's own property engine, independent of RapidCheck, next to the existing CheckProperty API, which stays unchanged. Strategies (Progmasoft/Catch3/Strategy/): a Strategy<T> builds a value from a ChoiceSource, a stream of integer choices where 0 is always the simplest decision. Gen:: provides Integers, Booleans, Floats (ranges, NaN and infinities on request, edge values), Characters, Strings, Utf8Strings, Vectors, UniqueVectors, Sets, Maps, Optionals, Tuples, Construct, Permutations, Just, SampledFrom, OneOf, Frequency, Lazy and Recursive; every strategy has Map, Filter and FlatMap. Shrinking: the engine records the choices of a failing trial and shrinks them, not the value, with deletion and zeroing of blocks, binary search per choice with a neighbour step for non-monotone conditions, sorting and moving value between neighbours. Replaying the shrunk choices through the same strategies means mapped, filtered, dependent and stateful inputs all shrink, and a shrunk input still satisfies its filters. ForAll([options,] strategy..., body) runs the trials (size rising over the first half), then a targeted search when the body calls Target, then checks Cover requirements. A failure report carries the minimized input, the notes and a replay token (PropertyOptions::Replay) that runs exactly that input. An example database (DatabasePath or CATCH3_PROPERTY_DATABASE) replays stored failures first and drops them once they pass. Bodies return bool, or void with CATCH3_PROPERTY_ASSERT and CATCH3_PROPERTY_ASSUME, which return instead of throwing; Note, Classify, Cover and Target record into a per-thread trial record. CATCH3_CHECK_FOR_ALL and CATCH3_REQUIRE_FOR_ALL report through Catch2 and name the property after the test case for the database. CheckStateful runs model-based command sequences against a model and the system under test; preconditions and state-dependent arguments are replayed during shrinking. Relations.hpp provides Equivalent (differential), Metamorphic, RoundTrip and Idempotent bodies. PropertyOptions, PropertyStatus, PropertyFailure and PropertyResult gain fields and statuses at their ends (kInsufficientCoverage, kGaveUp); existing designated initializers and reports are unchanged. The engine's untemplated parts are compiled in ChoiceShrinker.cpp, PropertyEngine.cpp and Context.cpp, and every build system (Bazel, CMake, Meson, Xmake, Premake) lists the new files and tests. Docs: progmasoft-properties.md describes the engine, progmasoft-roadmap.md the steps that follow (the standalone catch3 runner, mocking, per-test coverage, change-impact selection and prioritization, mutation testing, guided test generation). The .clang-format comment names Progmasoft C++ Style instead of Visual X#. Verified with clang-cl 23 through CMake: ProgmasoftSelfTest passes, 57 test cases and 75,461 assertions, including the shrinking results (1001 for x <= 1000, { 10 }, { 0, 0, 0 } through FlatMap, 102 through a filter, { 0, 100 } for two arguments, four push(0) steps for a queue that drops its fourth element, { 0, 0 } for a sort that loses duplicates) and the database, replay, coverage and discard behaviour. 
Catch3's own property engine, independent of RapidCheck, next to the
existing CheckProperty API, which stays unchanged.

Strategies (Progmasoft/Catch3/Strategy/): a Strategy<T> builds a value
from a ChoiceSource, a stream of integer choices where 0 is always the
simplest decision. Gen:: provides Integers, Booleans, Floats (ranges,
NaN and infinities on request, edge values), Characters, Strings,
Utf8Strings, Vectors, UniqueVectors, Sets, Maps, Optionals, Tuples,
Construct, Permutations, Just, SampledFrom, OneOf, Frequency, Lazy and
Recursive; every strategy has Map, Filter and FlatMap.

Shrinking: the engine records the choices of a failing trial and
shrinks them, not the value, with deletion and zeroing of blocks,
binary search per choice with a neighbour step for non-monotone
conditions, sorting and moving value between neighbours. Replaying the
shrunk choices through the same strategies means mapped, filtered,
dependent and stateful inputs all shrink, and a shrunk input still
satisfies its filters.

ForAll([options,] strategy..., body) runs the trials (size rising over
the first half), then a targeted search when the body calls Target,
then checks Cover requirements. A failure report carries the
minimized input, the notes and a replay token (PropertyOptions::Replay)
that runs exactly that input. An example database (DatabasePath or
CATCH3_PROPERTY_DATABASE) replays stored failures first and drops them
once they pass. Bodies return bool, or void with CATCH3_PROPERTY_ASSERT
and CATCH3_PROPERTY_ASSUME, which return instead of throwing; Note,
Classify, Cover and Target record into a per-thread trial record.
CATCH3_CHECK_FOR_ALL and CATCH3_REQUIRE_FOR_ALL report through Catch2
and name the property after the test case for the database.

CheckStateful runs model-based command sequences against a model and
the system under test; preconditions and state-dependent arguments are
replayed during shrinking. Relations.hpp provides Equivalent
(differential), Metamorphic, RoundTrip and Idempotent bodies.

PropertyOptions, PropertyStatus, PropertyFailure and PropertyResult
gain fields and statuses at their ends (kInsufficientCoverage,
kGaveUp); existing designated initializers and reports are unchanged.
The engine's untemplated parts are compiled in ChoiceShrinker.cpp,
PropertyEngine.cpp and Context.cpp, and every build system (Bazel,
CMake, Meson, Xmake, Premake) lists the new files and tests.

Docs: progmasoft-properties.md describes the engine,
progmasoft-roadmap.md the steps that follow (the standalone catch3
runner, mocking, per-test coverage, change-impact selection and
prioritization, mutation testing, guided test generation). The

Verified with clang-cl 23 through CMake: ProgmasoftSelfTest passes, 57
test cases and 75,461 assertions, including the shrinking results
(1001 for x <= 1000, { 10 }, { 0, 0, 0 } through FlatMap, 102 through

Add composite property generators, single-trial replay and stable counterexample printing 2026-10-02T00:27:05+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-10-02T00:27:05+00:00 5d55a3226360fae1eaa5ef91908b0fa7d7d07234 Property tests could only generate one integer or Boolean. This adds the composite strategies the documentation listed as missing, without changing any Catch2 file or the existing Progmasoft API. Generators: - Tuple(generators...) draws components left to right and shrinks one component at a time, which is how a property receives several arguments. - Vector(element, minimumSize, maximumSize) and Text(alphabet, minimumLength, maximumLength) share one ordered shrink: shortest allowed prefix, the two halves, single removals, then single element simplifications. A shrunk value never falls below its minimum, each step offers at most 256 candidates, and a size limit above 1,048,576 is rejected. - Element(values) picks from a fixed list and shrinks toward earlier entries. Runner: - PropertyOptions::ReplayTrialSeed runs exactly one trial with a reported replay seed, including its shrinking, so a failure from a log can be reproduced without rerunning earlier trials. The report now ends with the line that names this option and the seed. - Counterexamples of tuples, pairs and vectors are printed element by element instead of relying on Catch2's optional string makers, so the report does not depend on configuration macros or include order. The headers still compile for clients built without language exceptions. Thirteen new test cases cover bounds, determinism, shrink order, candidate limits, minimized counterexamples, replay and invalid configurations, and every build description (Bazel, CMake, Meson, Xmake, Premake) lists the new headers and test file.
