\page constraints Constraints
YYCC::Constraints namespace provide Constraint struct declaration
and various common constraint generator function.
This namespace is specifically used by YYCC::ConfigManager and YYCC::ArgParser namespaces.
See \ref config_manager chapter and \ref arg_parser chapter for how to utlize this namespace.
\section constraints__prototype Prototype
Constraint instruct library how check whether given value is in range,
and how to clamp it if it is invalid.
For example, you can use constraint to limit a number in given minimum maximum value,
or limit a string in specific format by using regex and etc.
Constraint is a template struct.
The argument of template is the underlying data type which need to be checked.
The struct with different template argument is not compatible.
Currently, this struct only contain 1 function pointer,
which is used for detecting whether given value is in range / valid.
\subsection constraints__presets Constraint Presets
YYCC::Constraints provides some constraint presets which are commonly used.
All functions inside this namespace will return a Constraint instance,
and you can directly use it.
There is a list of all provided functions:
\li GetMinMaxRangeConstraint(): Limit the number value in given minimum maximum value range (inclusive).
\li GetEnumEnumerationConstraint(): Limit the enum value by given all possible value set.
\li GetStringEnumerationConstraint(): Limit the string by given all possible value set.
\subsection config_manager__constraint__custom Custom Constraint
For creating your personal constraint,
you need to create Constraint instance manually.
You can browse all existing constraint preset functions code for know how to write it.
The things you need to do is simple.
First, you need decide the template argument of Constraint.
Second, you need assign class member of Constraint by C++ lambda syntax.
