Class template constrained

Class template constrained_value

boost::CV::constrained_value — A template to specify a constrained basic value type.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/date_time/constrained_value.hpp>

template<typename value_policies> 
class constrained_value {
public:
  // types
  typedef value_policies::value_type value_type;

  // construct/copy/destruct
  constrained_value(value_type);
  constrained_value& operator=(value_type);

  // public member functions
  operator value_type() const;

  // public static functions
  static value_type max BOOST_PREVENT_MACRO_SUBSTITUTION();
  static value_type min BOOST_PREVENT_MACRO_SUBSTITUTION();

  // private member functions
  void assign(value_type);
};

Description

This template provides a quick way to generate an integer type with a constrained range. The type provides for the ability to specify the min, max, and and error handling policy.

value policies A class that provides the range limits via the min and max functions as well as a function on_error that determines how errors are handled. A common strategy would be to assert or throw and exception. The on_error is passed both the current value and the new value that is in error.

`constrained_value` public construct/copy/destruct

```
constrained_value(value_type value);
```

constrained_value& operator=(value_type v);

`constrained_value` public member functions

```
operator value_type() const;
```
Coerce into the representation type.

`constrained_value` public static functions

static value_type max BOOST_PREVENT_MACRO_SUBSTITUTION();

Return the max allowed value (traits method)

static value_type min BOOST_PREVENT_MACRO_SUBSTITUTION();

Return the min allowed value (traits method)

`constrained_value` private member functions

```
void assign(value_type value);
```
