The header <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG> defines the macro <b>BOOST_ASSERT</b>,
|
|
|
|
|
|
which is similar to the standard <STRONG>assert</STRONG> macro defined in <STRONG><cassert></STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The macro is intended to be used in Boost libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>By default, <tt>BOOST_ASSERT(expr)</tt> is equivalent to <tt>assert(expr)</tt>.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>When the macro <STRONG>BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS</STRONG> is defined when <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG>
|
|
|
|
|
|
is included, <tt>BOOST_ASSERT(expr)</tt> is defined as <tt>((void)0)</tt>. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
allows users to selectively disable <STRONG>BOOST_ASSERT</STRONG> without
|
|
|
|
|
|
affecting the definition of the standard <STRONG>assert</STRONG>.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>When the macro <STRONG>BOOST_ENABLE_ASSERT_HANDLER</STRONG> is defined when <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG>
|
|
|
|
|
|
is included, <tt>BOOST_ASSERT(expr)</tt> evaluates <b>expr</b> and, if the
|
|
|
|
|
|
result is false, evaluates the expression</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P><tt>::boost::assertion_failed(#expr, <a href="current_function.html">BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION</a>,
|
|
|
|
|
|
__FILE__, __LINE__)</tt></P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P><STRONG>assertion_failed</STRONG> is declared in <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG>
|
|
|
|
|
|
as</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>

namespace boost
|
|
|
|

void assertion_failed(char const * expr, char const * function, char const * file, long line);

}

<p>but it is never defined. The user is expected to supply an appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
|
definition.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>As is the case with <STRONG><cassert></STRONG>, <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG>
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be included multiple times in a single translation unit. <STRONG>BOOST_ASSERT</STRONG>
|
|
|
|
|
|
will be redefined each time as specified above.</P>

|
|
|
|
<p><STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG> also defines the macro <STRONG>BOOST_VERIFY</STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has exactly the same behavior as <STRONG>BOOST_ASSERT</STRONG>, except
|
|
|
|
|
|
that the expression that is passed to <STRONG>BOOST_VERIFY</STRONG> is always
|
|
|
|
|
|
evaluated.</p>
