Macro BOOST_CONTRACT_EXCEPT

BOOST_CONTRACT_EXCEPT — Program exception guarantees that can be completely disabled at compile-time.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/contract_macro.hpp>

BOOST_CONTRACT_EXCEPT(...)

Description

BOOST_CONTRACT_EXCEPT(f) expands to code equivalent to the following (note that no code is generated when BOOST_CONTRACT_NO_EXCEPTS is defined):

#ifndef BOOST_CONTRACT_NO_EXCEPTS
    .except(f)
#endif

Where:

  • f is the nullary functor called by this library to check exception guarantees f(). Assertions within this functor are usually programmed using BOOST_CONTRACT_ASSERT, but any exception thrown by a call to this functor indicates a contract assertion failure (and will result in this library calling boost::contract::except_failure). This functor should capture variables by (constant) references (to access the values they will have at function exit). (This is a variadic macro parameter so it can contain commas not protected by round parenthesis.)
