\func{}{wxASSERT}{\param{}{condition}}
-Assert macro. An error message will be generated if the condition is FALSE.
+Assert macro. An error message will be generated if the condition is FALSE in
+debug mode, but nothing will be done in the release build.
+
+Please note that the condition in wxASSERT() should have no side effects
+because it will not be executed in release mode at all.
+
+See also: \helpref{wxASSERT\_MSG}{wxassertmsg}
\membersection{wxASSERT\_MSG}\label{wxassertmsg}
Assert macro with message. An error message will be generated if the condition is FALSE.
+See also: \helpref{wxASSERT}{wxassert}
+
\membersection{wxFAIL}\label{wxfail}
-\func{}{wxFAIL}{\param{}{condition}}
+\func{}{wxFAIL}{\void}
Will always generate an assert error if this code is reached (in debug mode).
+See also: \helpref{wxFAIL\_MSG}{wxfailmsg}
+
\membersection{wxFAIL\_MSG}\label{wxfailmsg}
-\func{}{wxFAIL\_MSG}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{msg}}
+\func{}{wxFAIL\_MSG}{\param{}{msg}}
Will always generate an assert error with specified message if this code is reached (in debug mode).
+This macro is useful for marking unreachable" code areas, for example
+it may be used in the "default:" branch of a switch statement if all possible
+cases are processed above.
+
+See also: \helpref{wxFAIL}{wxfail}
+
\membersection{wxCHECK}\label{wxcheck}
\func{}{wxCHECK}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{retValue}}
Checks that the condition is true, returns with the given return value if not (FAILs in debug mode).
This check is done even in release mode.
+This macro may be only used in non void functions, see also
+\helpref{wxCHECK\_RET}{wxcheckret}.
+
+\membersection{wxCHECK\_RET}\label{wxcheckret}
+
+\func{}{wxCHECK\_RET}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{msg}}
+
+Checks that the condition is true, and returns if not (FAILs with given error
+message in debug mode). This check is done even in release mode.
+
+This macro should be used in void functions instead of
+\helpref{wxCHECK\_MSG}{wxcheckmsg}.
+
+\membersection{wxCHECK2}\label{wxcheck2}
+
+\func{}{wxCHECK2}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{operation}}
+
+Checks that the condition is true and \helpref{wxFAIL}{wxfail} and execute
+{\it operation} if it is not. This is a generalisation of
+\helpref{wxCHECK}{wxcheck} and may be used when something else than just
+returning from the function must be done when the {\it condition} is false.
+
+This check is done even in release mode.
+
+\membersection{wxCHECK2\_MSG}\label{wxcheck2msg}
+
+\func{}{wxCHECK2}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{operation}, \param{}{msg}}
+
+This is the same as \helpref{wxCHECK2}{wxcheck2}, but
+\helpref{wxFAIL\_MSG}{wxfailmsg} with the specified {\it msg} is called
+instead of wxFAIL() if the {\it condition} is false.
