Until recently, CMake reported VS2015 as not supporting constexpr.
However, constexpr support was added in the VS2015 release, and CMake
now reports accordingly.
The constexpr support in VS2015 is too buggy to build Better Enums.
This change disables testing on VS2015 with constexpr support, because
those tests will fail.
Also adapted to a change in the Cygwin path prefix in AppVeyor and
fixed an issue in the Travis build with wget being unable to retrieve
from www.cmake.org's new redirect to cmake.org.
GCC 5.2 is a "bugfix" release over GCC 5.1 - not sure why the GCC team
updated the minor version number. Package managers seem to have dropped
GCC 5.1 and replaced it with 5.2, and I'm guessing usage of 5.1 is
discouraged. The testing code has been updated accordingly.
Travis is still distributing GCC 5.1 as of the time of this writing.
Also improved the documentation Makefile not to re-generate the samples
unless the source Markdown files are newer. This should make samples
development easier.
Also reordered compilers so that the very first tested are the ones
that support the most configurations, then immediately followed by
those which are the most likely to fail. Typically, this would be the
oldest ones, or the compiler versions that were the first to support
some major features.
To run tests with the system compiler, execute
make
To run tests with the system compiler in all configurations,
make default-all
To re-generate the examples from the documentation Markdown, and then
test all configurations,
make default-thorough
Other Makefile targets are for exhaustive testing with multiple
locally-installed compilers, or for use on CI servers, and are not for
general use.
Python and CxxTest are still required. On Windows, it is helpful to
have a Cygwin environment with a non-Cygwin CMake, and MSBuild.exe
should be in PATH.
Better Enums is now tested in fewer configurations. C++11 features are
no longer tested on clang 3.3, gcc 4.3-4.6, because CMake claims
(apparently falsely, in some cases) that those compilers don't support
constexpr and enum class.
support to VC++.
The unit test is currently not being run on VC++ due to a problem with CxxTest,
Cygwin, and paths. However, the examples are being compiled and having their
output checked, and the multiple translation unit test is being run.
Running "(cd test ; ./test.py)" should now run tests only using the default
compiler, on a Unix-like system. test.py --all runs tests on the full array of
compilers that I have installed and symlinked on my development machines.
The documentation is now generated from markdown. Samples are generated from the
tutorial pages. Testing is done by a Python script which runs the tests for a
large number of compilers.
This version is not very developer-friendly - the Python scripts need ways of
limiting what compilers they try to run. If you don't have 15 compilers
installed, you won't be able to run the tests in this commit. Fix coming soon.
