To keep things simple, it's called even when the expression is TRUE (i.e. everything is ok) and by default does nothing: just returns the same value back. But if you redefine it to do something more sexy (popping up a message box in your favourite GUI, sending you e-mail or whatever) it will affect all ASSERTs, FAILs and CHECKs in your code.

Warning: if you don't like advices on programming style, don't read further! ;-)

Extensive use of these macros is recommended! Remember that ASSERTs are disabled in final (without DEBUG defined) build, so they add strictly nothing to your program's code. On the other hand, CHECK macros do stay even in release builds, but in general are not much of a burden, while a judicious use of them might increase your program's stability. @memo Debugging macros (replacement for standard assert()) and more. */ // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- //@{ /** @name Macros which are completely disabled in 'release' mode */ //@{ #ifdef __DEBUG__ /** this function may be redefined to do something non trivial and is called whenever one of debugging macros fails (i.e. condition is false in an assertion) @param szFile and nLine - file name and line number of the ASSERT szMsg - optional message explaining the reason */ void wxOnAssert(const char *szFile, int nLine, const char *szMsg = NULL); /// generic assert macro #define wxASSERT(cond) if ( !(cond) ) wxOnAssert(__FILE__, __LINE__) /// assert with additional message explaining it's cause #define wxASSERT_MSG(x, m) if ( !(x) ) wxOnAssert(__FILE__, __LINE__, m) #else // nothing to do in release modes (hopefully at this moment there are // no more bugs ;-) #define wxASSERT(cond) #define wxASSERT_MSG(x, m) #endif //DEBUG /// special form of assert: always triggers it (in debug mode) #define wxFAIL wxASSERT(0) /// FAIL with some message #define wxFAIL_MSG(msg) wxASSERT_MSG(0, msg) //@} // NB: these macros work also in release mode! /** These macros must be used only in invalid situation: for example, an invalid parameter (NULL pointer) is passed to a function.
