/** @file
Allow to disable contracts to completely remove their compile-time and run-time
overhead.
This header automatically includes all header files <c>boost/contract/\*.hpp</c>
necessary to use its macros.

Almost all the macros defined in this header file are variadic macros. On
compilers that do not support variadic macros, programmers can manually code
<c>\#ifndef BOOST_CONTRACT_NO_...</c> statements instead (see
@RefSect{extras.disable_contract_compilation__macro_interface_,
Disable Contract Compilation}).

// IMPORTANT: Following headers can always be #included (without any #if-guard)
// because they expand to trivial code that does not affect compile-time. These
// headers must always be #included here (without any #if-guard) because they
// define types and macros that are typically left in user code even when
// contracts are disables (these types and macros never affect run-time and
// their definitions are trivial when contracts are disabled so their impact on
// compile-time is negligible).

        code equivalent to the following (this initializes the pointer to the
        old value copy, but not to be used for virtual public functions and
        public function overrides):
    
    @code
    #ifndef BOOST_CONTRACT_NO_OLDS

    @endcode
    
    3\. <c>BOOST_CONTRACT_OLD_PTR(old_type)(v, old_var, old_expr)</c> expands to
        code equivalent to the following (this initializes the pointer to the
        old value copy for virtual public functions and public function
        overrides):

    Where:
    
    @arg    <c><b>old_type</b></c> is the type of the pointed old value.
            This type must be copyable (i.e.,

            this library macro interface using their own set of parenthesis
            <c>SOME_MACRO(template_params)(other_params)</c>.)

            @RefClass{boost::contract::virtual_}<c>*</c> and default value @c 0
            from the enclosing virtual public function or public function
            override declaring the contract.
            (This is not a variadic macro parameter but it should never contain
            commas because it is an identifier.)
    @arg    <c><b>old_var</b></c> is the name of the old value pointer variable.
            (This is not a variadic macro parameter but it should never contain
            commas because it is an identifier.)
    @arg    <c><b>old_expr</b></c> is the expression to be evaluated and copied

    Virtual public functions should always use

            @RefClass{boost::contract::virtual_}<c>*</c> and default value @c 0
            from the enclosing virtual public function declaring the contract.
    @arg    <c><b>r</b></c> is a reference to the return value of the enclosing
            virtual public function declaring the contract.
            This is usually a local variable declared by the enclosing virtual
            public function just before the contract, but programmers must set
            it to the actual value being returned by the function at each
            @c return statement.
    @arg    <c><b>obj</b></c> is the object @c this from the scope of the
            enclosing public function declaring the contract.
            This object might be mutable, @c const, @c volatile, or
            <c>const volatile</c> depending on the cv-qualifier of the enclosing
            function (volatile public functions will check volatile class
            invariants, see @RefSect{extras.volatile_public_functions,
            Volatile Public Functions}).
