7d9550df
VZ
17 This symbol is defined to 1 by default meaning that asserts are compiled in
18 (although they may be disabled by a call to wxDisableAsserts()). You may
19 predefine it as 0 prior to including any wxWidgets headers to omit the
20 calls to wxASSERT() and related macros entirely in your own code and you
21 may also predefine it as 0 when building wxWidgets to also avoid including
22 any asserts in wxWidgets itself.
23
24 Alternatively, you may predefine it as 2 to include wxASSERT_LEVEL_2() and
25 similar macros which are used for asserts which have non-trivial run-time
26 costs and so are disabled by default.

316 Sets the function to be called in case of assertion failure.

318 The default assert handler forwards to wxApp::OnAssertFailure() whose
319 default behaviour is, in turn, to show the standard assertion failure
320 dialog if a wxApp object exists or shows the same dialog itself directly
321 otherwise.

323 While usually it is enough -- and more convenient -- to just override
324 OnAssertFailure(), to handle all assertion failures, including those
325 occurring even before wxApp object creation of after its destruction you
326 need to provide your assertion handler function.
327
328 This function also provides a simple way to disable all asserts: simply
329 pass @NULL pointer to it. Doing this will result in not even evaluating
330 assert conditions at all, avoiding almost all run-time cost of asserts.
