Implement automatic argument null checking #66

Closed Andy-Wilkinson closed 8 years ago

Andy-Wilkinson commented 9 years ago

The ASP.Net team have a [NotNull] attribute that is automatically code-gen'ed into the method body at compile time. Should Okra also use this? Are there any existing libraries that code-gen validation code?

Advantages,

Reduces argument validation code
Can be applied to interfaces and will be automatically included in implementations

Disadvantages,

Requires additional code-gen

The Asp.Net team no longer are planning on using [NotNull] for code-gen of argument validation code. Okra will continue to raise ArgumentNullExceptions explicitly.
