  A large panel of old and recently proposed exchange-correlation functionals
belonging to rungs 1 to 4 of Jacob's ladder of density functional theory are
tested (with and without a dispersion correction term) for the calculation of
the lattice constant, bulk modulus, and cohesive energy of solids. Particular
attention will be paid to the functionals MGGA_MS2 [J. Sun et al., J. Chem.
Phys. 138, 044113 (2013)], mBEEF [J. Wellendorff et al., J. Chem. Phys. 140,
144107 (2014)], and SCAN [J. Sun et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 036402 (2015)]
that are approximations of the meta-generalized gradient type and were
developed with the goal to be universally good. Another goal is also to
determine for which semilocal functionals and groups of solids it is beneficial
(or not necessary) to use the Hartree-Fock exchange or a dispersion correction
term.
