Validate macOS 10.15 "Catalina"

[Paul Hargrove]

Apple's next macOS release (10.15 "Catalina") is currently in public beta and expected to be generally available in late September (though Apple does not pre-announce specific dates). So, it is likely to arrive very shortly after we release.

I have a VM enrolled in Apple's beta program and plan to track releases as my time allows. Though the current beta does not boot on my VM, the previous one did and GASNet and UPC++ both PASSED CI tests compiled with clang/clang++ from both Xcode-10 and Xcode-11 (also beta).

This is optimistically assigned to our mid-Sep release.

Having tested macOS Catalina Beta (macOS 10.15 / Build "19A536g") with Xcode 11 Beta 6 (Xcode 11.0 / Build "11M392q"), I found no new issues in the current develop branches of GASNet or UPC++.

I have ceased testing Xcode-10 on Catalina betas.

I am still unable to build a "real" GCC for testing, but this something I assume the Homebrew or Fink communities will eventually address w/o active efforts on my part.

Still looks good at macOS 10.15 Beta Build "19A546d".

macOS 10.15 Beta 7 (build "19A546d") is still looking good after updating Xcode-11 to Beta 7 (build "11M392r").

macOS 10.15 Beta 8 (build "19A558d") is still looking good, now with Xcode-11 "GM Seed" (build "11A419c").

[Paul Hargrove]

"Xcode 11 GM Seed 2" (build "11A420a") still good

Rolling over to next release

[Paul Hargrove]

The VM is now on macOS 10.15 Beta 9 (build "19A573a")
This platform is now part of our automated nightly testing (with the released Xcode-11).

Catalina is now GA and working in nightly testing
