<content type='text'>
Review Catch2 devel through 08092139210881f01a34e60c5f2fd6afa0ea4024,
the commit of 3.16.1, and apply the eleven changes since the last
reviewed revision in upstream order:

  d7683484  better message when a reporter cannot be initialized
  ea5020f0  custom argument validation in every first-party reporter
  aa01559e  throwing-reporter test also throws in assertionEnded
  45cd3987  noexcept on handleUnexpectedInflightException
  6adbd539  MSVC optimizations enabled again after the benchmark headers
  e87f2882  no quadratic scaling for NTTP test registration
  73d546cd  REQUIRE expands its arguments fewer times under GCC and Clang
  b710039a  decomposer operators as plain functions
  f899467b  type-erased streaming of reconstructed expressions
  8f0e70ca  retired macos-14 runner dropped
  08092139  version 3.16.1 and its release notes

All of them applied to the sources without a conflict. The amalgamated
distribution under extras/ conflicted because it is generated; it is
generated again from the sources of this repository, which also brings
it up to date with fork changes it had not picked up: the list-based
stream pool, the Clang diagnostic boundary and the cassert include.

No file under src/Progmasoft changes. The fork-owned texts that name
the engine version say 3.16.1, and docs/upstream-status.md records the
review. Upstream files keep their names, licenses and compiler options.

Built with Clang 22 on Windows and tested: 148 of 149 tests pass. The
one that fails, Reporters::CrashInJunitReporter, fails the same way on
devel without this change with that compiler.

but they don't, so here we are.

<title>Let reporters opt into fast path in RunContext::assertionStarting</title>
<updated>2025-07-17T11:47:44+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.progmasoft.com/catch3/commit/?id=c22096846c98211e0bcd23dbbd155698fbd718b3'/>

The fast path allows `RunContext` to skip disabling output redirect,
and notifying the reporters, turning `RunContext::notifyAssertionStarted`
into a no-op. This improves the overall performance of assertion handling
significantly, and also prepares ground for future changes around
assertion handling and thread safety.

For simple 10M assertion run, this improves the running time by ~30%
in Debug build and ~40% in Release build.

For backwards-compatibility reasons, the fast path is disabled
by default. However, none of the first party reporters use the
`assertionStarting` event, so all first party reporters are opted-in.

<title>Improve performance of JUnit reporter when handling passing assertions</title>
<updated>2024-08-13T17:13:03+00:00</updated>

<name>Martin Hořeňovský</name>

<published>2024-08-13T16:57:42+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.progmasoft.com/catch3/commit/?id=fe483c056d9516d3550519c29fbf14a4d84d06d4'/>
<id>fe483c056d9516d3550519c29fbf14a4d84d06d4</id>
<content type='text'>
This is done by no longer requiring all assertions to be seen
by the JUnit reporter. Since the JUnit reporter never outputs
all assertions, even with `-s`, the only difference from storing
passing assertions in the `CumulativeReporterBase` was some
bookkeeping in deciding which sections are relevant to the output.

Given `TEST_CASE` that just runs many passing assertions, e.g.

```
TEST_CASE( "PERFORMANCE_TEST_CASE", "[.]" ) {
    for (size_t i = 0; i &lt; 1000'000'000; ++i) {
        REQUIRE( i == i );
    }
}
```

the new JUnit reporter will finish in 5:47, using up ~7.7 MB of RAM.
The old JUnit reporter would finish in 0:30, due to bad_alloc
after using up 14.5 GB of RAM (the system has 16 GB total).

If the total number of assertions is lowered to 10M, the old
implementation uses up ~7.1 GB of RAM and finishes in 12 minutes.
The new implementation still needs only ~7.7 MB of RAM, and finishes
in 4 minutes.

There is a slight downside in that the output is slightly different;
the new implementation will include the `TEST_CASE` level section
in output, even if it does not have its own assertion. In other words,
given a `TEST_CASE` like this

```
TEST_CASE( "JsonWriter", "[JSON][JsonWriter]" ) {
    std::stringstream stream;
    SECTION( "Newly constructed JsonWriter does nothing" ) {
        Catch::JsonValueWriter writer{ stream };
        REQUIRE( stream.str() == "" );
    }

    SECTION( "Calling writeObject will create an empty pair of braces" ) {
        { auto writer = Catch::JsonValueWriter{ stream }.writeObject(); }
        REQUIRE( stream.str() == "{\n}" );
    }
}
```

the new implementation will output 3 `testcase` tags, 2 for the explicit
 `SECTION`s with tests, and 1 for the top level section.

However, this can be worked-around if required, and the performance
improvement is such that it is worth changing the current output,
even if it needs to be fixed in the future.

Closes #2897

<title>Add new SKIP macro for skipping tests at runtime (#2360)</title>

<content type='text'>
* Add new SKIP macro for skipping tests at runtime

This adds a new `SKIP` macro for dynamically skipping tests at runtime.
The "skipped" status of a test case is treated as a first-class citizen,
like "succeeded" or "failed", and is reported with a new color on the
console.

* Don't show "skipped assertions" in console/compact reporters

Also extend skip tests to cover a few more use cases.

* Return exit code 4 if all test cases are skipped

* Use LightGrey for the skip colour

This isn't great, but is better than the deep blue that was borderline
invisible on dark backgrounds. The fix is to redo the colouring
a bit, including introducing light-blue that is actually visible.

* Add support for explicit skips in all reporters

* --allow-running-no-tests also allows all tests to be skipped

* Add docs for SKIP macro, deprecate IEventListener::skipTest
