Detailed Description

Asserter class declaration and macros.

This Code was originally written by Andrei Alexandrescu in his C/C++ Users Journal article "Assertions", April 2003. I have modified it slightly to work with g++ 4.0 and Fountain concepts

Define Documentation

#define ASSERT

Value: if (false); \ else \ struct Local {\ Local(const Asserter& info) { info.Handle(__FILE__, __LINE__); }\ } localAsserter = Asserter::Make smarter version of the assert macro The purpose of using this macro is to allow the programmer a more robust method of catching errors during the debug phase of a project. When compiled for production use, meaning the NDEBUG macro is defined, this macro evaluates to if (true);
