Function template call_if

boost::contract::call_if — Select compilation and execution of functor template calls using a nullary boolean meta-function (not needed on C++17 compilers, use if constexpr instead).

Synopsis

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


template<typename Pred, typename Then> 
  call_if_statement< Pred::value, Then > call_if(Then f);

Description

This is equivalent to boost::contract::call_if_c<Pred::value>(f). Create a call-if object with the specified then-branch functor template:

boost::contract::call_if<Pred1>(
    then_functor_template1
).template else_if<Pred2>(              // Optional.
    then_functor_template2
)                                       // Optionally, other `else_if` or
...                                     // `else_if_c`.
.else_(                                 // Optional for `void` functors,
    else_functor_template               // but required for non `void`.
)

Optional functor templates for else-if-branches and the else-branch can be specified as needed (the else-branch functor template is required if f returns non-void).

Assertion Requirements

Parameters:

f

Then-branch nullary functor template. The functor template call f() is compiled and executed if and only if Pred::value is true. The return type of other functor template calls specified for this call-if statement (else-branch, else-if-branches, etc.) must be the same as (or implicitly convertible to) the return type of then-branch functor template call f().

Template Parameters:

Pred

Nullary boolean meta-function selecting which functor template call to compile and execute.

Returns:

A call-if statement so else and else-if statements can be specified if needed. Eventually, this will be the return value of the one functor template call being compiled and executed (which could also be void).
