C++ Language/ErrorHandling/Assertions
Appearance
The assert(condition);
statement is conditionally-compiled.
When building a debug build-configuration, define the _DEBUG
preprocessor symbol so that assert()
will evaluate its condition (aborting the software execution if that condition evaluates to false
).
When building a release build-configuration, instead define the NDEBUG
preprocessor symbol so that assert()
efficiently generates no machine language code.
