What I would like to do is (in pseudo-code) :
declare_var my_var : int range 0..7; // i.e. 0 <= val <= 7;
my_var = 6; // ok
my_var = 8; // bang ! static assert fail or assert fail at
runtime
my_var = 6;
my_var += 2; // bang ! value 8 is > 7
So every assignment is range-checked at either compile-time if at
all possible or else at runtime. This includes things like += and
initialisers of course, not just straight assignment.
I assumed I would have to create a struct type definition and
handle various operators. How many will I have to handle? I would
of course make it a template so I can reuse this otherwise
horribly repetitive code.
