assert.h(0P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             assert.h(0P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       assert.h — verify program assertion

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <assert.h>

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
       here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       The <assert.h> header shall define the assert() macro. It refers to
       the macro NDEBUG which is not defined in the header. If NDEBUG is
       defined as a macro name before the inclusion of this header, the
       assert() macro shall be defined simply as:
           #define assert(ignore)((void) 0)
       Otherwise, the macro behaves as described in assert().
       The assert() macro shall be redefined according to the current state
       of NDEBUG each time <assert.h> is included.
       The assert() macro shall be implemented as a macro, not as a
       function. If the macro definition is suppressed in order to access an
       actual function, the behavior is undefined.
       The following sections are informative.
