+<p>
+ <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Intrusive</strong></span> hooks can be configured
+ to operate in safe-link mode. The safe mode is activated by default, but
+ it can be also explicitly activated:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="comment">//Configuring the safe mode explicitly</span>
+<span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">Foo</span> <span class="special">:</span> <span class="keyword">public</span> <span class="identifier">list_base_hook</span><span class="special">&lt;</span> <span class="identifier">link_mode</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">safe_link</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span>
+<span class="special">{};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ With the safe mode the user can detect if the object is actually inserted
+ in a container without any external reference. Let's review the basic features
+ of the safe mode:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
+<li class="listitem">
+ Hook's constructor puts the hook in a well-known default state.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Hook's destructor checks if the hook is in the well-known default state.
+ If not, an assertion is raised.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Every time an object is inserted in the intrusive container, the container
+ checks if the hook is in the well-known default state. If not, an assertion
+ is raised.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ Every time an object is being erased from the intrusive container, the
+ container puts the erased object in the well-known default state.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ With these features, without any external reference the user can know if
+ the object has been inserted in a container by calling the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">is_linked</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
+ member function. If the object is not actually inserted in a container, the
+ hook is in the default state, and if it is inserted in a container, the hook
+ is not in the default state.
+ </p>
+</div>
+<div class="section">
+<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
+<a name="intrusive.safe_hook.configuring"></a><a class="link" href="safe_hook.html#intrusive.safe_hook.configuring" title="Configuring safe-mode assertions">Configuring safe-mode
+ assertions</a>
+</h3></div></div></div>
+<p>
+ By default, all safe-mode assertions raised by <span class="bold"><strong>Boost-Intrusive</strong></span>
+ hooks and containers in are implemented using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASSERT</span></code>,
+ which can be configured by the user. See <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/assert.html" target="_top">http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/assert.html</a>
+ for more information about <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASSERT</span></code>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASSERT</span></code> is globally
+ configured, so the user might want to redefine intrusive safe-mode assertions
+ without modifying the global <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASSERT</span></code>.
+ This can be achieved redefining the following macros:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
+<li class="listitem">
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DEFAULT_ASSERT</span></code>:
+ This assertion will be used in insertion functions of the intrusive containers
+ to check that the hook of the value to be inserted is default constructed.
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DESTRUCTOR_ASSERT</span></code>:
+ This assertion will be used in hooks' destructors to check that the hook
+ is in a default state.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ If any of these macros is not redefined, the assertion will default to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_ASSERT</span></code>. If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DEFAULT_ASSERT</span></code>
+ or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DESTRUCTOR_ASSERT</span></code>
+ is defined and the programmer needs to include a file to configure that assertion,
+ it can define <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DESTRUCTOR_ASSERT_INCLUDE</span></code>
+ or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DEFAULT_ASSERT_INCLUDE</span></code>
+ with the name of the file to include:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DESTRUCTOR_ASSERT</span> <span class="identifier">MYASSERT</span>
+<span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_INTRUSIVE_SAFE_HOOK_DESTRUCTOR_ASSERT_INCLUDE</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">myassert</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">h</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
