> Just ensure the invariant function is called at every method

You make this sound way easier than I would expect it to be in the general case.



They're suggesting you write the output of the codegen shown in the image here:

Yeah you totally could, and before writing this plugin it's what I was doing, haha. As there is a human involved, it is very error prone though, and boy is it tedious!


You add something like:

  DCHECK(myInvariants());
to your method bodies. Sure, it makes it possible to forget, but it's not that hard to use.


A big part of DbC is that contracts are part of the public interface, not the implementation. This becomes especially important once you mesh them with Simula-style OOP, as derived classes need a way for overridden methods to widen or narrow the inherited contract.
