M_ASSERT(Cond) macro

Declared in elBase.h

Description

Ensures that the given condition is satisfied.

Details

If the logical expression Cond evaluates to false, the macro prints an error message and terminates the program with an exit code 1001 (internal fatal error).

For example: M_ASSERT(x<10) generates an error if x is NOT less than 10 (i.e. the condition is not asserted)

If Cond evaluates to true, nothing happens.

In RELEASE mode the macro is empty. Thus, M_ASSERT allows testing algorithmic correctness without any performance penalty in RELEASE mode.

Remarks

Use this macro for internal consistency checks. For testing the validity of input parameters use M_PARAM_CHECK - the more user-friendly version of M_ASSERT
