Policies are a powerful fine-grain mechanism that allow you to customise the
|
||
|
|
behaviour of this library according to your needs. There is more information
|
||
|
|
available in the <a class="link" href="pol_tutorial.html" title="Policy Tutorial">policy tutorial</a>
|
||
|
|
and the <a class="link" href="pol_ref.html" title="Policy Reference">policy reference</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Generally speaking, unless you find that the <a class="link" href="pol_tutorial/policy_tut_defaults.html" title="Policies Have Sensible Defaults">default
|
||
|
|
policy behaviour</a> when encountering 'bad' argument values does not meet
|
||
|
|
your needs, you should not need to worry about policies.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Policies are a compile-time mechanism that allow you to change error-handling
|
||
|
|
or calculation precision either program wide, or at the call site.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Although the policy mechanism itself is rather complicated, in practice it
|
||
|
|
is easy to use, and very flexible.
|
