14Useful macros and functions for error checking and defensive programming.
15
16Starting with wxWidgets 2.9.1, debugging support in wxWidgets is always
17compiled in by default, you need to explicitly define ::wxDEBUG_LEVEL as 0 to
18disable it completely. However, by default debugging macros are dormant in the
19release builds, i.e. when the main program is compiled with the standard @c
20NDEBUG symbol being defined. You may explicitly activate the debugging checks
21in the release build by calling wxSetAssertHandler() with a custom function if
22needed.
23
24When debugging support is active, failure of both wxASSERT() and wxCHECK()
25macros conditions result in a debug alert. When debugging support is inactive
26or turned off entirely at compilation time, wxASSERT() and wxFAIL() macros
27don't do anything while wxCHECK() still checks its condition and returns if it
28fails, even if no alerts are shown to the user.
29
30Finally, the compile time assertions don't happen during the run-time but
31result in the compilation error messages if the condition they check fail.
32They are always enabled and are not affected by ::wxDEBUG_LEVEL.
