- Some carefully crafted libraries make promises to their
- users beyond functionality and performance.
-
- Examples are: Fusion libraries promise intermediate data
- structures to be eliminated. 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.
