Generic programming libraries promise that the generic +implementation is identical to the hand-written one. Some libraries may +promise allocation-free or branch-free code. + +Conventionally, the modus operandi in all these cases is that the library +author manually inspects the (intermediate or final) code produced by the +compiler. This is not only tedious, but makes it very likely that some change, +either in the library itself or the surrounding eco-system, breaks the +library's promised without anyone noticing. + +This package provides a disciplined way of specifying such properties, and +have them checked by the compiler. This way, this checking can be part of the +ususal development cycle and regressions caught early. + +See the documentation in \"Test.Inspection\" or the project webpage for more +examples and more information.") + (license license:expat))) |
