# always-assert Recoverable assertions, inspired by [the use of `assert()` in SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/assert.html). ```rust use always_assert::never; fn apply_transaction(&mut self, tx: Transaction) -> Result<(), TransactionAborted> { let delta = self.compute_delta(&tx); if never!(!self.check_internal_invariant(&delta)) { // Ok, something in this transaction messed up our internal state. // This really shouldn't be happening, and this signifies a bug. // Luckily, we can recover by just rejecting the transaction. return abort_transaction(tx); } self.commit(delta); Ok(()) } ```
