Detailed Description

assert functions and macros

The assert macros are used to verify at runtime that a certain condition is true. If it is not true, the program halts. These checks are built into the program only in debugging builds. They are removed in optimized builds.

#define NS_ASSERT

(

condition

)

Value:

do                                                            \
    {                                                           \
      if (!(condition))                                         \
        {                                                       \
          std::cerr << "assert failed. file=" << __FILE__ <<    \
            ", line=" << __LINE__ << ", cond=\""#condition <<   \
            "\"" << std::endl;                                  \
          int *a = 0;                                           \
          *a = 0;                                               \
        }                                                       \
    }                                                           \
  while (false)

Parameters:

condition

condition to verifiy.

At runtime, in debugging builds, if this condition is not true, the program prints the source file, line number and unverified condition and halts by dereferencing a null pointer.

#define NS_ASSERT_MSG	(		condition,
			message
	)

Value:

do                                            \
    {                                           \
      if (!(condition))                         \
        {                                       \
          std::cerr << message << std::endl;    \
          int *a = 0;                           \
          *a = 0;                               \
        }                                       \
    }                                           \
  while (false)

Parameters:

	condition	condition to verifiy.
	message	message to output

At runtime, in debugging builds, if this condition is not true, the program prints the message to output and halts by dereferencing a null pointer.
