28 // Defines controlling the debugging macros
29 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 wxWidgets can be built with several different levels of debug support
33 specified by the value of wxDEBUG_LEVEL constant:
35 0: No assertion macros at all, this should only be used when optimizing
36 for resource-constrained systems (typically embedded ones).
37 1: Default level, most of the assertions are enabled.
38 2: Maximal (at least for now): asserts which are "expensive"
39 (performance-wise) or only make sense for finding errors in wxWidgets
40 itself, as opposed to bugs in applications using it, are also enabled.
43 // unless wxDEBUG_LEVEL is predefined (by configure or via wx/setup.h under
44 // Windows), use the default
45 #if !defined(wxDEBUG_LEVEL)
46 #define wxDEBUG_LEVEL 1
47 #endif // !defined(wxDEBUG_LEVEL)
50 __WXDEBUG__ is defined when wxDEBUG_LEVEL != 0. This is done mostly for
51 compatibility but it also provides a simpler way to check if asserts and
52 debug logging is enabled at all.
62 // Finally there is also a very old WXDEBUG macro not used anywhere at all, it
63 // is only defined for compatibility.
65 #if !defined(WXDEBUG) || !WXDEBUG

72 // Handling assertion failures
73 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
76 Type for the function called in case of assert failure, see
79 typedef void (*wxAssertHandler_t
)(const wxString
& file
,
87 // the global assert handler function, if it is NULL asserts don't check their
89 extern WXDLLIMPEXP_DATA_BASE(wxAssertHandler_t
) wxTheAssertHandler
;
92 Sets the function to be called in case of assertion failure.
94 The default assert handler forwards to wxApp::OnAssertFailure() whose
95 default behaviour is, in turn, to show the standard assertion failure
96 dialog if a wxApp object exists or shows the same dialog itself directly
99 While usually it is enough -- and more convenient -- to just override
100 OnAssertFailure(), to handle all assertion failures, including those
101 occurring even before wxApp object creation or after its destruction you
102 need to provide your assertion handler function.
104 This function also provides a simple way to disable all asserts: simply
105 pass NULL pointer to it. Doing this will result in not even evaluating
106 assert conditions at all, avoiding almost all run-time cost of asserts.
108 Notice that this function is not MT-safe, so you should call it before
109 starting any other threads.
111 The return value of this function is the previous assertion handler. It can
112 be called after any pre-processing by your handler and can also be restored
113 later if you uninstall your handler.

wxSetAssertHandler(wxAssertHandler_t handler
)
117 const wxAssertHandler_t old
= wxTheAssertHandler
;
118 wxTheAssertHandler
= handler
;
123 Reset the default assert handler.
125 This may be used to enable asserts, which are disabled by default in this
126 case, for programs built in release build (NDEBUG defined).
128 extern void WXDLLIMPEXP_BASE
wxSetDefaultAssertHandler();
130 #else // !wxDEBUG_LEVEL
132 // provide empty stubs in case assertions are completely disabled
134 // NB: can't use WXUNUSED() here as we're included from wx/defs.h before it is

wxSetAssertHandler(wxAssertHandler_t
/* handler */)

145 // simply a synonym for wxSetAssertHandler(NULL)
146 inline void wxDisableAsserts() { wxSetAssertHandler(NULL
); }
149 A macro which disables asserts for applications compiled in release build.
151 By default, wxIMPLEMENT_APP (or rather wxIMPLEMENT_WXWIN_MAIN) disable the
152 asserts in the applications compiled in the release build by calling this.
153 It does nothing if NDEBUG is not defined.

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

242 Assertion macros: check if the condition is true and call assert handler
243 (which will by default notify the user about failure) if it isn't.
245 wxASSERT and wxFAIL macros as well as wxTrap() function do nothing at all
246 if wxDEBUG_LEVEL is 0 however they do check their conditions at default
247 debug level 1, unlike the previous wxWidgets versions.
249 wxASSERT_LEVEL_2 is meant to be used for "expensive" asserts which should
250 normally be disabled because they have a big impact on performance and so
251 this macro only does anything if wxDEBUG_LEVEL >= 2.
254 // wxTrap() can be used to break into the debugger unconditionally
255 // (assuming the program is running under debugger, of course).
257 // If possible, we prefer to define it as a macro rather than as a function
258 // to open the debugger at the position where we trapped and not inside the
259 // trap function itself which is not very useful.

271 // This macro checks if the condition is true and calls the assert handler

275 // Notice that we don't use the handler return value for compatibility
276 // reasons (if we changed its return type, we'd need to change wxApp::

336 wxCHECK macros always check their conditions, setting debug level to 0 only
337 makes them silent in case of failure, otherwise -- including at default
338 debug level 1 -- they call the assert handler if the condition is false
340 They are supposed to be used only in invalid situation: for example, an
341 invalid parameter (e.g. a NULL pointer) is passed to a function. Instead of
342 dereferencing it and causing core dump the function might use
344 wxCHECK_RET( p != NULL, "pointer can't be NULL" )
347 // the generic macro: takes the condition to check, the statement to be executed
348 // in case the condition is false and the message to pass to the assert handler

366 #define wxCHECK2(cond, op) wxCHECK2_MSG(cond, op, (const char*)NULL)
368 // special form of wxCHECK2: as wxCHECK, but for use in void functions
370 // NB: there is only one form (with msg parameter) and it's intentional:
371 // there is no other way to tell the caller what exactly went wrong
372 // from the void function (of course, the function shouldn't be void
374 #define wxCHECK_RET(cond, msg) wxCHECK2_MSG(cond, return, msg)
377 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
378 // Compile time asserts
380 // Unlike the normal assert and related macros above which are checked during
381 // the program run-time the macros below will result in a compilation error if
382 // the condition they check is false. This is usually used to check the
383 // expressions containing sizeof()s which cannot be tested with the
384 // preprocessor. If you can use the #if's, do use them as you can give a more
385 // detailed error message then.
386 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
389 How this works (you don't have to understand it to be able to use the
390 macros): we rely on the fact that it is invalid to define a named bit field
391 in a struct of width 0. All the rest are just the hacks to minimize the
392 possibility of the compiler warnings when compiling this macro: in
393 particular, this is why we define a struct and not an object (which would
394 result in a warning about unused variable) and a named struct (otherwise we'd
395 get a warning about an unnamed struct not used to define an object!).
398 #define wxMAKE_UNIQUE_ASSERT_NAME wxMAKE_UNIQUE_NAME(wxAssert_)
401 The second argument of this macro must be a valid C++ identifier and not a
402 string. I.e. you should use it like this:
404 wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT( sizeof(int) >= 2, YourIntsAreTooSmall );
406 It may be used both within a function and in the global scope.
