The goal is to do the equivalent of clobbering memory, which forces
the compiler to keep side effects that are external to the benchmarked
function, while allowing it to optimize inside the benchmarked function.

E.g. this cannot be optimized away:
```cpp
BENCHMARK("foo") {
    global_count += 1;
};
```

while this can:
```cpp
BENCHMARK("bar") {
    size_t local_count = 0;
    for (size_t i = 0; i &lt; 100; ++i) {
        local_count += 1;
    }
};
```

As the types and values sent into the writer are determined by Catch2,
I do not expect to actually need this support, but it is better to have
it and not be surprised in the future.

The forward iteration logic already bounds-check for m_it != m_string-&gt;end(),
do the same for the backward iteration. The issue with the assert is
that the assert() might not be compiled in, and it is happening after
the dereference, so it was too late.

<title>Rework internals of CATCH_REGISTER_ENUM</title>
<updated>2026-04-08T10:57:09+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.progmasoft.com/catch3/commit/?id=47200ddbee03eaf4a9d3d99d18cb692381d8f5bc'/>
<id>47200ddbee03eaf4a9d3d99d18cb692381d8f5bc</id>
<content type='text'>
The old internals reached into the global hub to stash the allocation(s)
for enum value -&gt; string value there, then kept around a potentially
invalid (in case the hub was cleaned up) reference into it, going through
whole bunch of virtual dispatch in the process.

The new internals just store the data in a static variable inside the
`StringMaker` specialization. This avoids potential lifetime issues,
avoids all virtual dispatch and (almost) reduces the include bloat in
the main header path.

The reason for (almost) there is that for full include correctness,
`EnumInfo` needs `&lt;utility&gt;` include for `std::pair`. However, this brings
in things like `std::relops`, because the std headers in C++ are dumb.
As this was not included before, and instead we relied on `std::pair`
existing in an internal stdlib header that we transitively included, the
full include size ends up bigger than before.

<title>Fix counting of UTF-8 codepoints in TextFlow</title>

For line-wrapping bytes were counted instead of codepoints. This
resulted in line-breaks being inserted at the wrong position and also
breaking UTF-8 characters.

Fixes #1022.
