Design by Contract

What I'm gonna cover

When I get the time I intend to start off this blog by exploring the following ideas:
  • Developing a design by contract system for C#
  • History of Design by Contract
  • Code Generation Systems XSLT vs NVelocity
I'm producing a Design by contract system that's in early alpha. It uses NVelocity, and declarative programming. It lets you write code like this:
[Dbc, Invariant("Prop1 >= 1")]
    public class MyTestClass
    {
        public MyTestClass()
        {
        Prop1 = 10;    
        }
        #region property Prop1
        int prop1 = 0;
        [Requires("value != 1561")]
        public int Prop1
        {
            get
            {
                return prop1;
            }
            set
            {
                prop1 = value;
            }
        }
        #endregion

        [Requires("arg1 > 10")]
        [Requires("arg2 < 100")]
        [Ensures("$after(Prop1) == $before(Prop1) + 1")]
        public void TestMethod(int arg1, int arg2, string arg3)
        {
            Prop1 = Prop1 + 1;
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(
"MyTestClass.TestMethod.Prop1 == " + prop1.ToString());
        }
    }
During the rest of the project I'll show you how I expand this system to work with Aspect Oriented Programming, and Static and Dynamic Proxies. I'll also explore the best ways of implementing the control logic under the hood. Till then, I guess we're stuck with Asserts or ifs at the beginning of methods.
