    Preprocessor symbol defining the level of debug support available.

    (although they may be disabled by a call to wxDisableAsserts()). You may
    predefine it as 0 prior to including any wxWidgets headers to omit the
    calls to wxASSERT() and related macros entirely in your own code and you
    may also predefine it as 0 when building wxWidgets to also avoid including
    any asserts in wxWidgets itself.

    Alternatively, you may predefine it as 2 to include wxASSERT_LEVEL_2() and
    similar macros which are used for asserts which have non-trivial run-time
    costs and so are disabled by default.

    errors if you use this macro with 'Program Database For Edit And Continue'

    otherwise.

    While usually it is enough -- and more convenient -- to just override
    OnAssertFailure(), to handle all assertion failures, including those
    occurring even before wxApp object creation of after its destruction you
    need to provide your assertion handler function.

    pass @NULL pointer to it. Doing this will result in not even evaluating
    assert conditions at all, avoiding almost all run-time cost of asserts.

    starting any other threads.

    be called after any pre-processing by your handler and can also be restored
    later if you uninstall your handler.
