assert - insert program diagnostics
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <assert.h>
void assert(scalar
expression);
The
assert() macro shall insert diagnostics into programs; it shall
expand to a
void expression. When it is executed, if
expression
(which shall have a
scalar type) is false (that is, compares equal to
0),
assert() shall write information about the particular call that
failed on
stderr and shall call
abort().
The information written about the call that failed shall include the text of the
argument, the name of the source file, the source file line number, and the
name of the enclosing function; the latter are, respectively, the values of
the preprocessing macros __FILE__ and __LINE__ and of the identifier __func__.
Forcing a definition of the name NDEBUG, either from the compiler command line
or with the preprocessor control statement
#define NDEBUG ahead of the
#include <assert.h> statement, shall stop assertions from
being compiled into the program.
The
assert() macro shall not return a value.
No errors are defined.
