When enabled (set to 1), testing is enabled. This means the macros for the tests (SEQAN_BEGIN_TESTSUITE, SEQAN_DEFINE_TEST, SEQAN_CALL_TEST, and SEQAN_END_TESTSUITE) will be enabled. This makes failing assertions raise exceptions instead of call abort() and enables checkpoints.

By default, this is set to 0.

If SEQAN_ENABLE_CHECKPOINTS is not defined before including <seqan/basic.h>, then SEQAN_ENABLE_CHECKPOINTS will be set to the value of SEQAN_ENABLE_TESTING (after the default initialization to 0).

If you want to change this value, you have to define this value before including any SeqAn header.

If set to 1 then SEQAN_ENABLE_TESTING is force-set to 0 as well.
