- In 1999, SGI added “<span class="quote">concept checkers</span>” to their
- implementation of the STL: code which checked the template
- parameters of instantiated pieces of the STL, in order to insure
- that the parameters being used met the requirements of the
- standard. For example, the Standard requires that types passed as
- template parameters to <code class="classname">vector</code> be
- "Assignable" (which means what you think it means). The
- checking was done during compilation, and none of the code was
- executed at runtime.
- </p><p>
- Unfortunately, the size of the compiler files grew significantly
- as a result. The checking code itself was cumbersome. And bugs
- were found in it on more than one occasion.
- </p><p>
- The primary author of the checking code, Jeremy Siek, had already
- started work on a replacement implementation. The new code has been
- formally reviewed and accepted into
- <a class="ulink" href="http://www.boost.org/libs/concept_check/concept_check.htm" target="_top">the
- Boost libraries</a>, and we are pleased to incorporate it into the
- GNU C++ library.
- </p><p>
- The new version imposes a much smaller space overhead on the generated
- object file. The checks are also cleaner and easier to read and
- understand.
- </p><p>
- They are off by default for all versions of GCC.
- They can be enabled at configure time with
- <a class="ulink" href="../configopts.html" target="_top"><code class="literal">--enable-concept-checks</code></a>.
- You can enable them on a per-translation-unit basis with
- <code class="literal">-D_GLIBCXX_CONCEPT_CHECKS</code>.
- </p><p>
- Please note that the upcoming C++ standard has first-class
- support for template parameter constraints based on concepts in the core
- language. This will obviate the need for the library-simulated concept
- checking described above.
