Kernel Functions for Drivers                           ASSERT(9F)



NAME
     ASSERT, assert - expression verification

SYNOPSIS
     #include 



     void ASSERT(EX);


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

PARAMETERS
     EX    boolean expression.


DESCRIPTION
     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.

CONTEXT
     The ASSERT() macro can be used from user, interrupt, or ker-
     nel context.
