Detailed Description

Declaration of custom assertion facilities

Macro Definition Documentation

#define OrxAssert	(		condition,
			errorMessage
	)

Value:

do \
    { \
        if (!(condition)) \
        { \
            orxout(user_error) << __FILE__ << "(" << __LINE__ << "): "; \
            orxout(user_error) << "Assertion failed in " << __FUNCTIONNAME__ << endl; \
            orxout(user_error) << "Expression: " << #condition << endl; \
            orxout(user_error) << "Message   : " << errorMessage << endl; \
            /* Don't use the condition again to avoid double evaluation */ \
            /* Instead, stringify the expression and negate it */ \
            assert(!#condition); \
        } \
    } while (false)

Run time assertion like assert(), but with an embedded message.

The message will be printed as error with orxout(user_error).
You can use the same magic here as you can with ThrowException

OrxAssert(condition, "Text: " << number << " more text");

#define OrxVerify	(		condition,
			errorMessage
	)

Value:

do \
    { \
        if (!(condition)) \
        { \
            orxout(user_error) << __FILE__ << "(" << __LINE__ << "): "; \
            orxout(user_error) << "Verification failed in " << __FUNCTIONNAME__ << endl; \
            orxout(user_error) << "Expression: " << #condition << endl; \
            orxout(user_error) << "Message   : " << errorMessage << endl; \
            /* Don't use the condition again to avoid double evaluation */ \
            /* Instead, stringify the expression and negate it */ \
            assert(!#condition); \
        } \
    } while (false)

Works like OrxAssert in debug mode, but also checks the condition in release mode (no abort() triggered then).

The message will be printed as error with orxout(user_error).
You can use the same magic here as you can with ThrowException

OrxVerify(condition, "Text: " << number << " more text");
