<h3>template<class Host, template< class > class ExceptionPolicy><br>
class Loki::ContractChecker< Host, ExceptionPolicy ></h3>
This class determines if a function violated any class invariant, but it also determines if a function fulfills its contract with client code. In the "Design by Contract" paradigm, each function has certain pre-conditions and post-conditions which may differ from the class invariants. This asserts if a check for an invariant fails as well as if any pre- or post-condition fails. It also demonstrate which exception safety level a function provides.<p>
<dl class="user" compact><dt><b>Usage</b></dt><dd><ol type=1>
<li>Implement a function that checks each class invariant. The function must have the signature similar to the Validator type. Something like: "bool Host::IsValid( void ) const;"<ul>
<li>The function should return true if everything is okay, but false if something is wrong.</li><li>Or it could assert if anything is wrong.</li><li>Ideally, it should be private.</li></ul>
</li><li>Implement similar functions to check for pre-conditions and post-conditions. Functions which verify pre-conditions and post-conditions do not need to check all class invariants, just conditions specific to certain public functions in the host class.</li><li>Declare some typedef's inside the class declaration like these. Make one typedef for each exception policy you use. I typedef'ed the <a class="el" href="a00020.html">CheckForNothing</a> policy as CheckInvariants because even if a function can't provide either the no-throw nor the no-change policies, it should still make sure the object remains in a valid state.<ul>
<li>typedef Loki::ContractChecker< Host, ::Loki::CheckForNoThrow > <a class="el" href="a00021.html">CheckForNoThrow</a>;</li><li>typedef Loki::ContractChecker< Host, ::Loki::CheckForNoChange > <a class="el" href="a00018.html">CheckForNoChange</a>;</li><li>typedef Loki::ContractChecker< Host, ::Loki::CheckForEquality > <a class="el" href="a00017.html">CheckForEquality</a>;</li><li>typedef Loki::ContractChecker< Host, ::Loki::CheckForNothing > CheckInvariants;</li></ul>
</li><li>Construct a checker near the top of each member function - except in the validator member function. Pass the this pointer and the address of your validator function into the checker's constructor. You may also pass in pointers to function which check pre- and post-conditions.<ul>
<li>If the function never throws, then use the <a class="el" href="a00021.html">CheckForNoThrow</a> policy.</li><li>If the function never changes any data members, then use <a class="el" href="a00017.html">CheckForEquality</a> policy.</li><li>If the function's normal execution flow changes data, but must make sure data remains unchanged when any exceptions occur, then use the <a class="el" href="a00018.html">CheckForNoChange</a> policy.</li><li>Otherwise use the CheckInvariants policy.</li></ul>
</li><li>Recompile a debug version of your program, run the program and all the unit tests, and look for which assertions failed. </li></ol>

This first checks the invariants for <a class="el" href="a00029.html">ContractChecker</a>, and then calls the validator function for the host to make sure no class invariants were broken by the host within the Host's member function body. The host member function can call Check directly to verify the object remains valid at any time. This does not care if the pre- and post-condition validator pointers are null since a host class may pass in NULL pointers for either to indicate the pre-conditions or post-conditions are the same as the overall class invariants.
