Detailed Description

template<class _Derived>
struct zypp::base::SafeBool< _Derived >

Validate objects in a boolean context without harmful side effects.

http://www.artima.com/cppsource/safebool.html

Uses CRTP to avoid a virtual function. _Derived must provide bool boolTest() const preformong the test.

Note:

Using SafeBool enables ==/!= comparision for Foo, based on the bool_type values. Make shure you overload both operators, in case an other semantic is desired for ==/!=.

 class Foo : protected base::SafeBool<Foo>
 {
 public:
   using base::SafeBool<Foo>::operator bool_type;

 private:
   friend SafeBool<TT>::operator bool_type() const;
   bool boolTest() const
   {
     // Perform Boolean logic here
   }
 };

Todo:

Investigate why Bit refuses private inheritance and exposition of operator bool_type. Seems to be a gcc bug. protected works.
