+ <filesummary>Assert Macros</filesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>The include file <c>assert.hrl</c> provides macros for inserting
+ assertions in your program code.</p>
+ <p>These macros are defined in the Stdlib include file
+ <c>assert.hrl</c>. Include the following directive in the module
+ from which the function is called:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+-include_lib("stdlib/include/assert.hrl").</code>
+ <p>When an assertion succeeds, the assert macro yields the atom
+ <c>ok</c>. When an assertion fails, an exception of type <c>error</c> is
+ instead generated. The associated error term will have the form
+ <c>{Macro, Info}</c>, where <c>Macro</c> is the name of the macro, for
+ example <c>assertEqual</c>, and <c>Info</c> will be a list of tagged
+ values such as <c>[{module, M}, {line, L}, ...]</c> giving more
+ information about the location and cause of the exception. All entries
+ in the <c>Info</c> list are optional, and you should not rely
+ programatically on any of them being present.</p>
+
+ <p>If the macro <c>NOASSERT</c> is defined when the <c>assert.hrl</c>
+ include file is read by the compiler, the macros will be defined as
+ equivalent to the atom <c>ok</c>. The test will not be performed, and
+ there will be no cost at runtime.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, using <c>erlc</c> to compile your modules, the following
+ will disable all assertions:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+erlc -DNOASSERT=true *.erl</code>
+ <p>(The value of <c>NOASSERT</c> does not matter, only the fact that it
+ is defined.)</p>
+ <p>A few other macros also have effect on the enabling or disabling of
+ assertions:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>If <c>NODEBUG</c> is defined, it implies <c>NOASSERT</c>, unless
+ <c>DEBUG</c> is also defined, which is assumed to take
+ precedence.</item>
+ <item>If <c>ASSERT</c> is defined, it overrides <c>NOASSERT</c>, that
+ is, the assertions will remain enabled.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>If you prefer, you can thus use only <c>DEBUG</c>/<c>NODEBUG</c> as
+ the main flags to control the behaviour of the assertions (which is
+ useful if you have other compiler conditionals or debugging macros
+ controlled by those flags), or you can use <c>ASSERT</c>/<c>NOASSERT</c>
+ to control only the assert macros.</p>
