catch3/tests/meson.build, branch 0.1.0 Progmasoft Catch3: an independently maintained C++17 test framework with a parallel runner, property checks, snapshots and structured results. Add Progmasoft Catch3 property testing and build support 2026-09-24T19:07:03+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-09-24T19:07:03+00:00 9ad804cedf4cc4a85ef89fe097f97a3b44654360 Introduce deterministic property execution, built-in generators, shrinking, replayable seeds, and a separate Progmasoft-owned header API while preserving Catch2 compatibility targets and the C++14 engine baseline. Add Bazel, Meson, Xmake, and Premake integration and tests alongside the existing CMake build. Replace Linux-only workflow coverage with Windows and macOS jobs and document the Catch2/Catch3 distinction.

Support for constexpr matchers in C++20 (P0784) 2026-05-12T09:05:02+00:00 Martin Hořeňovský 2026-05-10T21:05:46+00:00 651247c7f40eda6846fec736d2f9edac8949dacb 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`. Closes #3091

There is an increasing number of places where Catch2 wants to parse
strings into numbers, but being stuck in C++14 world, we do not
have good stdlib facilities to do this (`strtoul` and `stoul`
are both bad).

* meson: run through muon's fmt to fix formatting

* meson: switch arrays to files

Allows muon to alphabetically sort files. switch headers back to arrays
as split() can only be used on strings.

Add support for building with Meson (#2530)

The Meson[1] build system makes it easier incorporate third-party
libaries into a project if they also build using Meson.

Let's add a minimal Meson build that's compatible with the CMake build,
along with a GitHub workflow to check that it builds and that at least
the simplest SelfTest runs.

The handling of catch_user_config.hpp is inspired by BUILD.bazel and
doesn't attempt to support any configuratons options. Such features
could be added later.

Meson strongly discourages using wildcards to specify sources, so the
source and header lists are copied from CMakeLists.txt.

Add a new test workflow to test the Meson builds. I was unable to get
these tests to pass with Ubuntu 20.04, so they use Ubuntu 22.04.

I'm neither a CMake nor a Meson expert, but the results seem to work for
me.
