Exclusive Bit-Flag Enums via Attributes

.Net library to provide exclusivity testing for Bit-Flag enum definitions. Written in C# & .Net 4.6.2, using Visual Studio. Licensed under BSD-3.

Unit Tests and Error Handling

Tests provide a near "real-world" example using the included CLISwitches enum, in addition to other arbitrary enums to test vaious use cases.

Exceptions are thrown, trapped, reported to the Error Console, then silently ignored, to prevent impeding program execution (indeed, when testing for a valid bit-flag enum, an ArgumentOutOfRange exception will be thrown if invalid).

Nifty Bits

  • ExclusiveFlagsAttribute.IsValidExclusive(Enum instance)
    Static method provided to check for conflicting enum bit-flags. Extension method wrapper for IsValidExclusive provided by ExclusiveFlagsExtensions.
