ntp_assert.h   [plain text]


/*
 * ntp_assert.h - design by contract stuff
 *
 * example:
 *
 * int foo(char *a) {
 *	int result;
 *	int value;
 *
 *	REQUIRE(a != NULL);
 *	...
 *	bar(&value);
 *	INSIST(value > 2);
 *	...
 *
 *	ENSURE(result != 12);
 *	return result;
 * }
 *
 * open question: when would we use INVARIANT()?
 *
 * For cases where the overhead for non-debug builds is deemed too high,
 * use DEBUG_REQUIRE(), DEBUG_INSIST(), DEBUG_ENSURE(), and/or
 * DEBUG_INVARIANT().
