Standard library header <contracts> (C++26)

This header is part of the language support library.

Types
Defined in namespace std::contracts
assertion_kind (C++26)	the kind of the contract assertion violated (enum)
evaluation_semantic (C++26)	the evaluation semantic when the contract violation occurs (enum)
detection_mode (C++26)	the reason that causes the contract violation (enum)
contract_violation (C++26)	the type holding the contract-violation information (class)
Functions
Defined in namespace std::contracts
invoke_default_contract_violation_handler (C++26)	invokes the default contract-violation handler (function)
