libfsafe: eases writing fail-safe code (C++)

about

libfsafe provides a simple exception-based assertion mechanism that can be used to realize a rudimentary design-by-contract policy.

It leverages libsex to not only throw exceptions when boolean expressions evaluate to false, but also to declutter control flow by using macros that wrap new exceptions around those thrown by substatements, creating a concise backtrace that eases reconstruction of errors.
