public final class Strict

extends java.lang.Object

The Strict class provides some static functions for checking state that can vary depending on how strict the checking should be. For example, if something is very unlikely to happen, but still possible, we can't use an assert statement or similar hard check. However, leaving a condition unchecked might mask a real problem. So, we define a few "strictness" modes and handle failures depending on the current mode.

static void	fail() Unlikely code is being executed, fail depending on the mode.
