  • Adding “invariant” clauses to C++ via GCC plugin to enable Design-by-Contract
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Jan 2023
    I'm the author, and even I think so. I'm more of an LLVM fan myself (though I can't not mention David Malcom's work on the GCC Static Analyzer).

    Ideally it wouldn't be a plugin at all, it'd be a language feature. We got Contracts and left out the most useful contract of them all, the stateful invariant!

    Originally, I started it as a Clang plugin, thinking that I could also implement support for the Contracts "[[pre]]" and "[[post]]" specification on top (or at least some minimal implementation of it.

    The difficulty seemed a lot greater to support pre/post attributes with expressions inside of them than [[invariant]] marker attributes.

    If people would like to use this from Clang, even without support for regular Contracts, I will publish a compatible Clang plugin.

    I think at some point there was support for Contracts in Clang, maybe longer term I'll try to get them working again? (I've no experience here)

    This fellow wrote a whole ~200 page thesis on this just as recently as 2018, such a shame for it to go to waste =/
