Compilation fails with cl.exe /Zc:wchar_t-

[dandrestor]

Description

When using the Visual Studio compiler option /Zc:wchar_t-, the compiler will replace the type wchar_t with a typedef. Thus the following error is generated during compilation:

doctest.h(2587): error C2766: explicit specialization; 'const char *doctest::detail::type_to_string<wchar_t>(void)' has already been defined
doctest.h(2585): note: see previous definition of 'type_to_string'

• doctest version: v2.2.3
• Operating System: Windows 10
• Compiler+version: Visual Studio 14.0

Thanks for reporting this!

Seems that I can check against a preprocessor identifier (some more info)

This should be fixed in version 2.3 when I release it. For now you can uncomment one of those 2 lines.

Awesome, thanks.
