6## Roadmap
7
8Support the development of the project with donations! I work on this project in my spare time and every cent is a big deal.

12This is a list of planned features for future releases (maybe in the given order).
13
14- fix the test coverage reports - currently each example replaces the coverage from the last example
15- test with gcc 6 and use it in the CI builds
16- support for ```std::exception``` and derivatives (mainly for calling the ```.what()``` method when caught unexpectedly)
17- test with missed warning flags for GCC - look into https://github.com/Barro/compiler-warnings
18- crash handling: signals on UNIX platforms or structured exceptions on Windows
19- support for tags
20 - may fail tag
21 - invisible tag
22 - look at Catch - https://github.com/philsquared/Catch/blob/master/docs/test-cases-and-sections.html#special-tags
23- output to file
24- reporters
25 - a system for writing custom reporters
26 - ability to use multiple reporters at once (but only 1 to stdout)
27 - a compact reporter
28 - an xml reporter
29 - jUnit/xUnit reporters
30- add the ability to query if code is currently being ran in a test - ```doctest::isRunningInTest()```
31- convolution support for the assertion macros (with a predicate)
32- time stuff
33 - reporting running time of tests
34 - restricting duration of test cases
35 - killing a test that exceeds a time limit (will perhaps require threading or processes)
36- adding contextual info to asserts (logging) - with an ```INFO```/```CONTEXT``` /```TRACEPOINT``` macro
37- add ```ERROR```/```FAIL``` macros
38- running tests a few times
39- marking a test to run X times (should also multiply with the global test run times)
40- test execution in separate processes - ```fork()``` for UNIX and [this](https://github.com/nemequ/munit/issues/2) for Windows
41- ability to provide a temp folder that is cleared between each test case
42- detect floating point exceptions
43- ```Bitwise()``` class that has overloaded operators for comparison - to be used to check objects bitwise against each other
44- integrate static analysis on the CI: **msvc**, **clang**, **cppcheck**
45- get a build with **MinGW-w64** running on **appveyor**
46
47And here is a list of things that are being considered but not part of the roadmap yet:
48
49- matchers - should investigate what they are :D
50- option to list files in which there are test cases who match the current filters
51- handle ```wchar``` strings
52- refactor the assertion macros - make proxy functions that do most of the things to minimize code bloat
53- pool allocator for the ```String``` class - currently very unoptimized
54- ability to specify ASC/DESC for the order option
55- command line error handling/reporting
56- utf8? not sure if this should be here
57- print a warning when no assertion is encountered in a test case
58- hierarchical test suites - using a stack for the pushed ones - should be easy
59- put everything from the ```detail``` namespace also in a nested anonymous namespace to make them with internal linkage
60- ability to re-run only newly compiled tests based on time stamps using ```__DATE__``` and ```__TIME__``` - stored in some file
