Catch2是一个简单的c++单元测试框架，v2版本基于c++11开发，v3版本需要c++14及以上，最初版本Catch1.x基于c++98。
项目地址是 Catch2 或 镜像。
Catch2简单易用，v2版本只需要下载catch.hpp，先选择v2.x分支，路径是single_include/catch2/catch.hpp，主分支当前是v3版本，将extras目录下的catch_amalgamated.hpp和catch_amalgamated.cpp下载，包含到你的工程就可以了。
Catch2不依赖外部库，只下载上面说到的几个文件即可编译。
以下例子中均使用Catch2 v2.13.7。
简单使用
#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
#include "catch.hpp"
int sum1(int num)
{
int sum = 0;
for(; num; --num)
sum += num;
return sum;
}
int sum2(int num)
{
return num*(1+num)/2;
}
TEST_CASE() {
REQUIRE(sum1(2) == sum2(2));
}
编译时间有点久。
第一行的作用是由catch提供一个main函数：
// Standard C/C++ main entry point
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
return Catch::Session().run( argc, argv );
}
或者可以自己写：
#define CATCH_CONFIG_RUNNER
#include "catch.hpp"
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
return Catch::Session().run(argc, argv);
}
输出结果是：
===============================================================================
All tests passed (1 assertion in 1 test case)
TEST_CASE和断言
可以为TEST_CASE起名字，或者加标签：
TEST_CASE("case 1", "[tag 1][tag2]") {
REQUIRE(Factorial(2) == 2);
}
TEST_CASE("case2", "[tag2]") {
REQUIRE(sum1(20) == sum2(20));
}
“case 1”是test case的名字，全局必须唯一（可以有多个匿名test case）， “tag 1”，"tag2"是标签名，需要放在[]内部。一个test case可以有多个标签，多个test case可以使用相同的标签。
REQUIRE是一个assert宏，用来判断是否相等。另外还有CHECK宏，与REQUIRE不同的是，REQUIRE在expression为false时将会终止当前test case，CHECK在expression为false时会给出警告信息但当前test case继续往下执行。
对应的还有：
REQUIRE_FALSE( expression )
CHECK_FALSE( expression )
REQUIRE_FALSE在expression为true时将会终止当前test case，CHECK_FALSE在expression为true时会给出警告信息但当前test case继续往下执行。
这里有一点要指出的是，对于CHECK(a == 1 && b == 2)这样的语句，由于宏展开的原因，catch不能通过编译，需要在表达式的两端加上括号CHECK((a == 1 && b == 2))。
一些常用命令行选项：
test.exe -l
All available test cases:
case 1
[tag 1][tag2]
case2
[tag2]
2 test cases
test.exe -t
All available tags:
1 [tag 1]
2 [tag2]
2 tags
test.exe "case2"
Filters: case2
===============================================================================
All tests passed (1 assertion in 1 test case)
test.exe [tag2]
Filters: [tag2]
===============================================================================
All tests passed (2 assertions in 2 test cases)
SECTION
Catch提供了一种section机制，每个section都是独立运行单元，比如下面：
TEST_CASE("vectors can be sized and resized", "[vector]")
{
std::vector<int> v(5);
REQUIRE(v.size() == 5);
REQUIRE(v.capacity() >= 5);
SECTION("resizing bigger changes size and capacity")
{
v.resize(10);
REQUIRE(v.size() == 10);
REQUIRE(v.capacity() >= 10);
}
SECTION("resizing smaller changes size but not capacity")
{
v.resize(0);
REQUIRE(v.size() == 0);
REQUIRE(v.capacity() >= 5);
}
SECTION("reserving bigger changes capacity but not size")
{
v.reserve(10);
REQUIRE(v.size() == 5);
REQUIRE(v.capacity() >= 10);
}
SECTION("reserving smaller does not change size or capacity")
{
v.reserve(0);
REQUIRE(v.size() == 5);
REQUIRE(v.capacity() >= 5);
}
}
对于每个section来说，它都从test case的最开始运行，这样在进入section之前，我们知道v的size为5，capacity大于5。根据section的实现，这些section不是并发执行的，而是每次执行一个section。
以上代码的输出结果是：

浮点比较
catch2浮点数比较采用类Approx，相关代码如下：
double m_epsilon;
double m_margin;
double m_scale;
double m_value;
Approx::Approx ( double value )
: m_epsilon( std::numeric_limits<float>::epsilon()*100 ),
m_margin( 0.0 ),
m_scale( 0.0 ),
m_value( value )
{}
// Performs equivalent check of std::fabs(lhs - rhs) <= margin
// But without the subtraction to allow for INFINITY in comparison
bool marginComparison(double lhs, double rhs, double margin) {
return (lhs + margin >= rhs) && (rhs + margin >= lhs);
}
bool Approx::equalityComparisonImpl(const double other) const {
// First try with fixed margin, then compute margin based on epsilon, scale and Approx's value
// Thanks to Richard Harris for his help refining the scaled margin value
return marginComparison(m_value, other, m_margin)
|| marginComparison(m_value, other, m_epsilon * (m_scale + std::fabs(std::isinf(m_value)? 0 : m_value)));
}
举个例子：
Approx target = Approx(100).epsilon(0.01).margin(0.01);
CHECK(100 == target);
CHECK(100.5 == target);
CHECK(108 == Approx(100).epsilon(0.1).margin(0.01));
Catch2为用户定义了一个替代字符_a，这样使用时不用每次都写Approx，此时只能使用默认参数：
namespace literals {
Detail::Approx operator "" _a(long double val) {
return Detail::Approx(val);
}
Detail::Approx operator "" _a(unsigned long long val) {
return Detail::Approx(val);
}
} // end namespace literals
举个例子：
using namespace Catch::literals;
REQUIRE( 2.1 == 2.1_a );
Matchers
Matchers顾名思义就是某个string或其它类型是否和Matcher所定义的条件匹配。
String matchers
内置的string matchers有Equals，Contains，EndsWith，StartsWith，Matches，前四个是常见的string或substring的比较，Matches是ECMAScript类型的正则表达式：
namespace Catch {
namespace Matchers {
namespace StdString {
//......
} // namespace StdString
// The following functions create the actual matcher objects.
// This allows the types to be inferred
StdString::EqualsMatcher Equals( std::string const& str, CaseSensitive::Choice caseSensitivity = CaseSensitive::Yes );
StdString::ContainsMatcher Contains( std::string const& str, CaseSensitive::Choice caseSensitivity = CaseSensitive::Yes );
StdString::EndsWithMatcher EndsWith( std::string const& str, CaseSensitive::Choice caseSensitivity = CaseSensitive::Yes );
StdString::StartsWithMatcher StartsWith( std::string const& str, CaseSensitive::Choice caseSensitivity = CaseSensitive::Yes );
StdString::RegexMatcher Matches( std::string const& regex, CaseSensitive::Choice caseSensitivity = CaseSensitive::Yes );
} // namespace Matchers
} // namespace Catch
举个例子：
using namespace Catch::Matchers;
CHECK_THAT("hello world", EndsWith("world" ) && !StartsWith("hello"));
REQUIRE_THAT("hello new world", EndsWith("world" ) && StartsWith("hello"));
Vector matchers
vector类型的matchers有Contains，VectorContains，Equals，Approx，UnorderedEquals。
Contains判断某个vector是否包含另外一个vector，VectorContains判断某个vector是否有某个元素，Equals判断两个vector是否相同，UnorderedEquals判断两个vector的元素集合是否相同。
ApproxMatcher类内部有个成员变量Approx approx，并有epsilon()，margin()，scale()方法，用于判断两个vector，每个对应位置的元素，用Approx类处理后比较是否相同。
namespace Catch {
namespace Matchers {
namespace Vector {
//......
} // namespace Vector
// The following functions create the actual matcher objects.
// This allows the types to be inferred
template<typename T, typename AllocComp = std::allocator<T>, typename AllocMatch = AllocComp>
Vector::ContainsMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch> Contains( std::vector<T, AllocComp> const& comparator ) {
return Vector::ContainsMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch>( comparator );
}
template<typename T, typename Alloc = std::allocator<T>>
Vector::ContainsElementMatcher<T, Alloc> VectorContains( T const& comparator ) {
return Vector::ContainsElementMatcher<T, Alloc>( comparator );
}
template<typename T, typename AllocComp = std::allocator<T>, typename AllocMatch = AllocComp>
Vector::EqualsMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch> Equals( std::vector<T, AllocComp> const& comparator ) {
return Vector::EqualsMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch>( comparator );
}
template<typename T, typename AllocComp = std::allocator<T>, typename AllocMatch = AllocComp>
Vector::ApproxMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch> Approx( std::vector<T, AllocComp> const& comparator ) {
return Vector::ApproxMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch>( comparator );
}
template<typename T, typename AllocComp = std::allocator<T>, typename AllocMatch = AllocComp>
Vector::UnorderedEqualsMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch> UnorderedEquals(std::vector<T, AllocComp> const& target) {
return Vector::UnorderedEqualsMatcher<T, AllocComp, AllocMatch>( target );
}
} // namespace Matchers
} // namespace Catch
