SEQAN_ASSERT

Macro

SEQAN_ASSERT

Test that the given expression can be coerced to true.

SEQAN_ASSERT(expression)

SEQAN_ASSERT_MSG(expression, message[, parameters])

Remarks

The main advantage of this macro is that it prints the values of its argument on failures. Note that the operator<< to the type of std::cerr has to be defined for the type of both expression parameters. Otherwise, simply use the equivalent SEQAN_ASSERT call.

See SEQAN_CHECK and SEQAN_FAIL for (conditionally) aborting your program regardless of debug settings.

Examples

SEQAN_ASSERT(0);  // will fail
SEQAN_ASSERT(1);  // will run through
SEQAN_ASSERT_MSG(0, "message %d", 2);  // Will fail with message.
