19 @name Debugging macros

21 All debugging macros rely on ASSERT() which in turn calls user-defined
22 OnAssert() function. To keep things simple, it's called even when the
23 expression is TRUE (i.e. everything is ok) and by default does nothing: just
24 returns the same value back. But if you redefine it to do something more sexy
25 (popping up a message box in your favourite GUI, sending you e-mail or
26 whatever) it will affect all ASSERTs, FAILs and CHECKs in your code.

29 <b>Warning</b>: if you don't like advices on programming style, don't read
30 further! ;-)
31 <BR>
32 <BR>
33 Extensive use of these macros is recommended! Remember that ASSERTs are
34 disabled in final (without __WXDEBUG__ defined) build, so they add strictly
35 nothing to your program's code. On the other hand, CHECK macros do stay
36 even in release builds, but in general are not much of a burden, while
37 a judicious use of them might increase your program's stability.
