<h3 class="section">2.5 <code>assert</code>—macro for debugging diagnostics</h3>
|
|
<a name="index-assert"></a>
|
|
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">#include <assert.h>
|
|
void assert(int <var>expression</var>);
|
|
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
|
Use this macro to embed debuggging diagnostic statements in
|
|
your programs. The argument <var>expression</var> should be an
|
|
expression which evaluates to true (nonzero) when your program
|
|
is working as you intended.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When <var>expression</var> evaluates to false (zero), <code>assert</code>
|
|
calls <code>abort</code>, after first printing a message showing what
|
|
failed and where:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> Assertion failed: <var>expression</var>, file <var>filename</var>, line <var>lineno</var>, function: <var>func</var>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the name of the current function is not known (for example,
|
|
when using a C89 compiler that does not understand __func__),
|
|
the function location is omitted.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The macro is defined to permit you to turn off all uses of
|
|
<code>assert</code> at compile time by defining <code>NDEBUG</code> as a
|
|
preprocessor variable. If you do this, the <code>assert</code> macro
|
|
expands to
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (void(0))
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
|
|
<code>assert</code> does not return a value.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
|
|
The <code>assert</code> macro is required by ANSI, as is the behavior
|
|
when <code>NDEBUG</code> is defined.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required (only if enabled): <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>,
|
|
<code>getpid</code>, <code>isatty</code>, <code>kill</code>, <code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
