C++26 Contracts: Introduction to Preconditions and Postconditions
In the article about Standard Library hardening, we looked at checks for invalid Standard Library container access and other broken preconditions. I mentioned that those requirements are expressed in terms of "contracts". But what about our code?
In this post, we’ll explore contracts from C++26. We’ll start with a simple cassert, move the requirement into the function itself, and see how to check results.

Summary
Learn how C++26 introduces contracts that help enforce preconditions and postconditions within your code. The article breaks down the concept with practical examples, showing how to implement these checks directly in your functions.
