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.
