// Debugging macros
//
// All debugging macros rely on ASSERT() which in turn calls user-defined
// OnAssert() function. To keep things simple, it's called even when the
// expression is TRUE (i.e. everything is ok) and by default does nothing: just
// returns the same value back. But if you redefine it to do something more sexy
// (popping up a message box in your favourite GUI, sending you e-mail or
// whatever) it will affect all ASSERTs, FAILs and CHECKs in your code.
//
// Warning: if you don't like advices on programming style, don't read
// further! ;-)
//
// Extensive use of these macros is recommended! Remember that ASSERTs are
// disabled in final (without __WXDEBUG__ defined) build, so they add strictly
// nothing to your program's code. On the other hand, CHECK macros do stay
// even in release builds, but in general are not much of a burden, while
// a judicious use of them might increase your program's stability.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Macros which are completely disabled in 'release' mode
//
// NB: these functions are implemented in src/common/appcmn.cpp

// Compile time asserts
//
// Unlike the normal assert and related macros above which are checked during
// the program tun-time the macros below will result in a compilation error if
// the condition they check is false. This is usually used to check the
// expressions containing sizeof()s which cannot be tested with the
// preprocessor. If you can use the #if's, do use them as you can give a more
// detailed error message then.

/*
  How this works (you don't have to understand it to be able to use the
  macros): we rely on the fact that it is invalid to define a named bit field
  in a struct of width 0. All the rest are just the hacks to minimize the
  possibility of the compiler warnings when compiling this macro: in
  particular, this is why we define a struct and not an object (which would
  result in a warning about unused variable) and a named struct (otherwise we'd
  get a warning about an unnamed struct not used to define an object!).
