| 21 | The header <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG> defines the macro <b>BOOST_ASSERT</b>, |
|---|
| 22 | which is similar to the standard <STRONG>assert</STRONG> macro defined in <STRONG><cassert></STRONG>. |
|---|
| 23 | The macro is intended to be used in Boost libraries. |
|---|
| 24 | </p> |
|---|
| 25 | <P>By default, <tt>BOOST_ASSERT(expr)</tt> is equivalent to <tt>assert(expr)</tt>.</P> |
|---|
| 26 | <P>When the macro <STRONG>BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS</STRONG> is defined when <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG> |
|---|
| 27 | is included, <tt>BOOST_ASSERT(expr)</tt> is defined as <tt>((void)0)</tt>. This |
|---|
| 28 | allows users to selectively disable <STRONG>BOOST_ASSERT</STRONG> without |
|---|
| 29 | affecting the definition of the standard <STRONG>assert</STRONG>.</P> |
|---|
| 30 | <P>When the macro <STRONG>BOOST_ENABLE_ASSERT_HANDLER</STRONG> is defined when <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG> |
|---|
| 31 | is included, <tt>BOOST_ASSERT(expr)</tt> evaluates <b>expr</b> and, if the |
|---|
| 32 | result is false, evaluates the expression</P> |
|---|
| 33 | <P><tt>::boost::assertion_failed(#expr, <a href="current_function.html">BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION</a>, |
|---|
| 34 | __FILE__, __LINE__)</tt></P> |
|---|
| 35 | <P><STRONG>assertion_failed</STRONG> is declared in <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG> |
|---|
| 36 | as</P> |

|---|
| 45 | <p>but it is never defined. The user is expected to supply an appropriate |
|---|
| 46 | definition.</p> |
|---|
| 47 | <P>As is the case with <STRONG><cassert></STRONG>, <STRONG><boost/assert.hpp></STRONG> |
|---|
| 48 | can be included multiple times in a single translation unit. <STRONG>BOOST_ASSERT</STRONG> |
|---|
| 49 | will be redefined each time as specified above.</P> |
