Detailed Description

This is a helper class which can be used to make pre-C++11 operator bool() comparisons safer by making them behave a bit more like they have the "explicit" keyword attached. The idea is to define your class using the CRTP idiom and implement the non-virtual boolean_test() function, e.g.:

class Foo : public safe_bool<Foo> { public: bool boolean_test() const { // Perform actual logic here to determine true/false return value. return false; } };

The idea is from: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms/Safe_bool
