This is question is a bit broad and conceptual.
I have a class with various methods. Let’s call them A and B. How can I make sure that other developers working with this class in the future will not call method B before first calling method A at least once ?
I am doing this in C++ but in general what’s the best way to enforce this ? I have naive some ideas such as using a boolean variable but I would like to hear some other thoughts as well.
One way to guarantee this? Make it the responsibility of method B to call method A once.
Anything else is a fragile API.
