Compatibility

Bugspray's API is very similar to Catch2's. However, they are not the same, and never will. The reason for this is, that Bugspray needs to account for the constraints of constexpr evaluation, which Catch does not.

However, Bugspray is intentionally compatible with Catch2 where this is reasonable. This should

  1. simplify moving existing codebases between Catch2 and Bugspray and
  2. allow using existing tooling written for Catch2, with Bugspray.

As an example for 2), Jetbrains CLion IDE comes with a GUI interface for Catch2 tests. Bugspray can be used with that UI.
