27 // Defines controlling the debugging macros
28 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
31 wxWidgets can be built with several different levels of debug support
32 specified by the value of wxDEBUG_LEVEL constant:
34 0: No assertion macros at all, this should only be used when optimizing
35 for resource-constrained systems (typically embedded ones).
36 1: Default level, most of the assertions are enabled.
37 2: Maximal (at least for now): asserts which are "expensive"
38 (performance-wise) or only make sense for finding errors in wxWidgets
39 itself, as opposed to bugs in applications using it, are also enabled.
42 // unless wxDEBUG_LEVEL is predefined (by configure or via wx/setup.h under
43 // Windows), use the default
44 #if !defined(wxDEBUG_LEVEL)
45 #define wxDEBUG_LEVEL 1
46 #endif // !defined(wxDEBUG_LEVEL)
49 __WXDEBUG__ is defined when wxDEBUG_LEVEL != 0. This is done mostly for
50 compatibility but it also provides a simpler way to check if asserts and
51 debug logging is enabled at all.
61 // Finally there is also a very old WXDEBUG macro not used anywhere at all, it
62 // is only defined for compatibility.
64 #if !defined(WXDEBUG) || !WXDEBUG
70 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
71 // Handling assertion failures
72 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
75 Type for the function called in case of assert failure, see
78 typedef void (*wxAssertHandler_t
)(const wxString
& file
,
86 // the global assert handler function, if it is NULL asserts don't check their
88 extern WXDLLIMPEXP_DATA_BASE(wxAssertHandler_t
) wxTheAssertHandler
;
91 Sets the function to be called in case of assertion failure.
93 The default assert handler forwards to wxApp::OnAssertFailure() whose
94 default behaviour is, in turn, to show the standard assertion failure
95 dialog if a wxApp object exists or shows the same dialog itself directly
98 While usually it is enough -- and more convenient -- to just override
99 OnAssertFailure(), to handle all assertion failures, including those
100 occurring even before wxApp object creation or after its destruction you
101 need to provide your assertion handler function.
103 This function also provides a simple way to disable all asserts: simply
104 pass NULL pointer to it. Doing this will result in not even evaluating
105 assert conditions at all, avoiding almost all run-time cost of asserts.
107 Notice that this function is not MT-safe, so you should call it before
108 starting any other threads.
110 The return value of this function is the previous assertion handler. It can
111 be called after any pre-processing by your handler and can also be restored
112 later if you uninstall your handler.
114 inline wxAssertHandler_t
wxSetAssertHandler(wxAssertHandler_t handler
)
116 const wxAssertHandler_t old
= wxTheAssertHandler
;
117 wxTheAssertHandler
= handler
;
122 Reset the default assert handler.
124 This may be used to enable asserts, which are disabled by default in this
125 case, for programs built in release build (NDEBUG defined).
127 extern void WXDLLIMPEXP_BASE
wxSetDefaultAssertHandler();
129 #else // !wxDEBUG_LEVEL
131 // provide empty stubs in case assertions are completely disabled
133 // NB: can't use WXUNUSED() here as we're included from wx/defs.h before it is
135 inline wxAssertHandler_t
wxSetAssertHandler(wxAssertHandler_t
/* handler */)
140 inline void wxSetDefaultAssertHandler() { }
142 #endif // wxDEBUG_LEVEL/!wxDEBUG_LEVEL
144 // simply a synonym for wxSetAssertHandler(NULL)
145 inline void wxDisableAsserts() { wxSetAssertHandler(NULL
); }
148 A macro which disables asserts for applications compiled in release build.
150 By default, IMPLEMENT_APP (or rather IMPLEMENT_WXWIN_MAIN) disable the
151 asserts in the applications compiled in the release build by calling this.
152 It does nothing if NDEBUG is not defined.

157 #define wxDISABLE_ASSERTS_IN_RELEASE_BUILD()
163 wxOnAssert() is used by the debugging macros defined below. Different
164 overloads are needed because these macros can be used with or without _T().
166 All of them are implemented in src/common/appcmn.cpp and unconditionally
167 call wxTheAssertHandler so the caller must check that it is non-NULL
168 (assert macros do it).
173 // these overloads are the ones typically used by debugging macros: we have to
174 // provide wxChar* msg version because it's common to use _T() in the macros
175 // and finally, we can't use const wx(char)* msg = NULL, because that would
178 // also notice that these functions can't be inline as wxString is not defined
179 // yet (and can't be as wxString code itself may use assertions)

241 Assertion macros: check if the condition is true and call assert handler
242 (which will by default notify the user about failure) if it isn't.
244 wxASSERT and wxFAIL macros as well as wxTrap() function do nothing at all
245 if wxDEBUG_LEVEL is 0 however they do check their conditions at default
246 debug level 1, unlike the previous wxWidgets versions.
248 wxASSERT_LEVEL_2 is meant to be used for "expensive" asserts which should
249 normally be disabled because they have a big impact on performance and so
250 this macro only does anything if wxDEBUG_LEVEL >= 2.
253 // call this function to break into the debugger unconditionally (assuming
254 // the program is running under debugger, of course)
255 extern void WXDLLIMPEXP_BASE
wxTrap();
257 // assert checks if the condition is true and calls the assert handler with
258 // the provided message if it isn't
260 // NB: the macro is defined like this to ensure that nested if/else
261 // statements containing it are compiled in the same way whether it is
262 // defined as empty or not; also notice that we can't use ";" instead

303 wxCHECK macros always check their conditions, setting debug level to 0 only
304 makes them silent in case of failure, otherwise -- including at default
305 debug level 1 -- they call the assert handler if the condition is false
307 They are supposed to be used only in invalid situation: for example, an
308 invalid parameter (e.g. a NULL pointer) is passed to a function. Instead of
309 dereferencing it and causing core dump the function might use
311 wxCHECK_RET( p != NULL, "pointer can't be NULL" )
314 // the generic macro: takes the condition to check, the statement to be execute
315 // in case the condition is false and the message to pass to the assert handler
316 #define wxCHECK2_MSG(cond, op, msg) \
321 wxFAIL_COND_MSG(#cond, msg); \
324 struct wxDummyCheckStruct /* just to force a semicolon */
326 // check which returns with the specified return code if the condition fails
327 #define wxCHECK_MSG(cond, rc, msg) wxCHECK2_MSG(cond, return rc, msg)
329 // check that expression is true, "return" if not (also FAILs in debug mode)
330 #define wxCHECK(cond, rc) wxCHECK_MSG(cond, rc, (const char*)NULL)
332 // check that expression is true, perform op if not
333 #define wxCHECK2(cond, op) wxCHECK2_MSG(cond, op, (const char*)NULL)
335 // special form of wxCHECK2: as wxCHECK, but for use in void functions
337 // NB: there is only one form (with msg parameter) and it's intentional:
338 // there is no other way to tell the caller what exactly went wrong
339 // from the void function (of course, the function shouldn't be void
341 #define wxCHECK_RET(cond, msg) wxCHECK2_MSG(cond, return, msg)
344 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
345 // Compile time asserts
347 // Unlike the normal assert and related macros above which are checked during
348 // the program run-time the macros below will result in a compilation error if
349 // the condition they check is false. This is usually used to check the
350 // expressions containing sizeof()s which cannot be tested with the
351 // preprocessor. If you can use the #if's, do use them as you can give a more
352 // detailed error message then.
353 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
356 How this works (you don't have to understand it to be able to use the
357 macros): we rely on the fact that it is invalid to define a named bit field
358 in a struct of width 0. All the rest are just the hacks to minimize the
359 possibility of the compiler warnings when compiling this macro: in
360 particular, this is why we define a struct and not an object (which would
361 result in a warning about unused variable) and a named struct (otherwise we'd
362 get a warning about an unnamed struct not used to define an object!).
365 #define wxMAKE_UNIQUE_ASSERT_NAME wxMAKE_UNIQUE_NAME(wxAssert_)
368 The second argument of this macro must be a valid C++ identifier and not a
369 string. I.e. you should use it like this:
371 wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT( sizeof(int) >= 2, YourIntsAreTooSmall );
373 It may be used both within a function and in the global scope.
375 #if defined(__WATCOMC__)
376 /* avoid "unused symbol" warning */
377 #define wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT(expr, msg) \
378 class wxMAKE_UNIQUE_ASSERT_NAME { \
379 unsigned int msg: expr; \
380 wxMAKE_UNIQUE_ASSERT_NAME() { wxUnusedVar(msg); } \
383 #define wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT(expr, msg) \
384 struct wxMAKE_UNIQUE_ASSERT_NAME { unsigned int msg: expr; }
388 When using VC++ 6 with "Edit and Continue" on, the compiler completely
389 mishandles __LINE__ and so wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT() doesn't work, provide a
390 way to make "unique" assert names by specifying a unique prefix explicitly
392 #define wxMAKE_UNIQUE_ASSERT_NAME2(text) wxCONCAT(wxAssert_, text)
394 #define wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT2(expr, msg, text) \
395 struct wxMAKE_UNIQUE_ASSERT_NAME2(text) { unsigned int msg: expr; }
397 // helpers for wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT below, for private use only
398 #define wxMAKE_BITSIZE_MSG(type, size) type ## SmallerThan ## size ## Bits
400 // a special case of compile time assert: check that the size of the given type
401 // is at least the given number of bits
402 #define wxASSERT_MIN_BITSIZE(type, size) \
403 wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT(sizeof(type) * CHAR_BIT >= size, \
404 wxMAKE_BITSIZE_MSG(type, size))
