This udpates all the remaining tests to the new test suite code and
comment styles started in #898. For the most part, the test coverage
here is unchanged, with a few minor exceptions as noted below.
- test_constants_and_functions: this adds more overload tests with
overloads with different number of arguments for more comprehensive
overload_cast testing. The test style conversion broke the overload
tests under MSVC 2015, prompting the additional tests while looking
for a workaround.
- test_eigen: this dropped the unused functions `get_cm_corners` and
`get_cm_corners_const`--these same tests were duplicates of the same
things provided (and used) via ReturnTester methods.
- test_opaque_types: this test had a hidden dependence on ExampleMandA
which is now fixed by using the global UserType which suffices for the
relevant test.
- test_methods_and_attributes: this required some additions to UserType
to make it usable as a replacement for the test's previous SimpleType:
UserType gained a value mutator, and the `value` property is not
mutable (it was previously readonly). Some overload tests were also
added to better test overload_cast (as described above).
- test_numpy_array: removed the untemplated mutate_data/mutate_data_t:
the templated versions with an empty parameter pack expand to the same
thing.
- test_stl: this was already mostly in the new style; this just tweaks
things a bit, localizing a class, and adding some missing
`// test_whatever` comments.
- test_virtual_functions: like `test_stl`, this was mostly in the new
test style already, but needed some `// test_whatever` comments.
This commit also moves the inherited virtual example code to the end
of the file, after the main set of tests (since it is less important
than the other tests, and rather length); it also got renamed to
`test_inherited_virtuals` (from `test_inheriting_repeat`) because it
tests both inherited virtual approaches, not just the repeat approach.
When compiling in C++17 mode the noexcept specifier is part of the
function type. This causes a failure in pybind11 because, by omitting
a noexcept specifier when deducing function return and argument types,
we are implicitly making `noexcept(false)` part of the type.
This means that functions with `noexcept` fail to match the function
templates in cpp_function (and other places), and we get compilation
failure (we end up trying to fit it into the lambda function version,
which fails since a function pointer has no `operator()`).
We can, however, deduce the true/false `B` in noexcept(B), so we don't
need to add a whole other set of overloads, but need to deduce the extra
argument when under C++17. That will *not* work under pre-C++17,
however.
This commit adds two macros to fix the problem: under C++17 (with the
appropriate feature macro set) they provide an extra `bool NoExceptions`
template argument and provide the `noexcept(NoExceptions)` deduced
specifier. Under pre-C++17 they expand to nothing.
This is needed to compile pybind11 with gcc7 under -std=c++17.
The C++ part of the test code is modified to achieve this. As a result,
this kind of test:
```python
with capture:
kw_func1(5, y=10)
assert capture == "kw_func(x=5, y=10)"
```
can be replaced with a simple:
`assert kw_func1(5, y=10) == "x=5, y=10"`
Use simple asserts and pytest's powerful introspection to make testing
simpler. This merges the old .py/.ref file pairs into simple .py files
where the expected values are right next to the code being tested.
This commit does not touch the C++ part of the code and replicates the
Python tests exactly like the old .ref-file-based approach.
