How do you declare an interface in C++?

Question

How do I setup a class that represents an interface? Is this just an abstract base class?

Answer 1

You can also consider contract classes implemented with the NVI (Non Virtual Interface Pattern). For instance:

struct Contract1 : boost::noncopyable
{
    virtual ~Contract1();
    void f(Parameters p) {
        assert(checkFPreconditions(p)&&"Contract1::f, pre-condition failure");
        // + class invariants.
        do_f(p);
        // Check post-conditions + class invariants.
    }
private:
    virtual void do_f(Parameters p) = 0;
};
...
class Concrete : public Contract1, public Contract2
{
private:
    virtual void do_f(Parameters p); // From contract 1.
    virtual void do_g(Parameters p); // From contract 2.
};
