Function copy_old

boost::contract::copy_old — Check if old values need to be copied (for virtual public functions and public function overrides).

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/contract/old.hpp>


bool copy_old(virtual_ * v);

Description

For example, this function always returns false when both postconditions and exception guarantees are not being checked (see BOOST_CONTRACT_NO_OLDS). In addition, this function returns false when overridden functions are being called subsequent times by this library to support subcontracting. This function is often only used by the code expanded by BOOST_CONTRACT_OLDOF.

Parameters:

v

The trailing parameter of type boost::contract::virtual_* and default value 0 from the enclosing virtual or overriding public function declaring the contract.

Returns:

True if old values need to be copied, false otherwise.
