In A Tour of C++, Third Edition, Bjarne Stroustrup provides an overview of ISO C++, C++ 20,
that aims to give experienced programmers a clear understanding of what constitutes …

In this paper, we explore the design space for an extension to the Contracts MVP proposal
[P2900R8] that allows placing function contract assertions—pre and post—on coroutines …

2 BACKGROUND During the October 6th, 2020, teleconference of the WG21 Study Group
on Contracts, SG21 took a poll to determine whether it agrees “to progress contract checking …

This paper considers the case where an overridden function odr-uses a non-reference
function parameter in its postcondition assertion, and then an overriding function drops const …

Abstract The current Contracts MVP [P2900R6] allows side effects in contract predicates. It
further specifies that evaluating a predicate when performing a contract check can be elided …

The growing complexity of embedded systems requires new strategies to meet the
challenges of embedded system development. The evolution of programming languages …

After having gained implementation and deployment experience with Contracts for C++ as
proposed in [P2900R10] we identified a few corner cases for which the front matter and …

Abstract The Lakos Rule is a long-standing design principle in the C++ Standard Library. It
stipulates that a function having a narrow contract should not be declared noexcept, even if it …

We propose a standard facility providing the semantics of existing compiler built-ins such as
__builtin_assume (Clang) and __assume (MSVC, ICC). It gives the programmer a way to …

For a software system to function as intended, the assumptions made by its designers must
be satisfied. Such assumptions fall into one of two distinct categories:(1) The system must be …
