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

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