ASSERT(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers ASSERT(9F)

ASSERT, assert - expression verification

#include <sys/debug.h>
void ASSERT(EX);

Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

EX

boolean expression.

The ASSERT() macro checks to see if the expression EX is true. If it is not, then ASSERT() causes an error message to be logged to the console and the system to panic. ASSERT() works only if the preprocessor symbol DEBUG is defined.

The ASSERT() macro can be used from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
