-// Debugging macros
-//
-// All debugging macros rely on ASSERT() which in turn calls user-defined
-// OnAssert() function. To keep things simple, it's called even when the
-// expression is TRUE (i.e. everything is ok) and by default does nothing: just
-// returns the same value back. But if you redefine it to do something more sexy
-// (popping up a message box in your favourite GUI, sending you e-mail or
-// whatever) it will affect all ASSERTs, FAILs and CHECKs in your code.
-//
-// Warning: if you don't like advices on programming style, don't read
-// further! ;-)
-//
-// Extensive use of these macros is recommended! Remember that ASSERTs are
-// disabled in final (without __WXDEBUG__ defined) build, so they add strictly
-// nothing to your program's code. On the other hand, CHECK macros do stay
-// even in release builds, but in general are not much of a burden, while
-// a judicious use of them might increase your program's stability.
-// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
