(C++ CLX) assert

See assert for the rationale of an assert statement.

Because in C++ Builder a program's window immediatly closes when using an ordinary assert, I provide an assert statement more practical in C++ Builder below.

ifndef __BILDERBIKKEL_ASSERT_HPP

define __BILDERBIKKEL_ASSERT_HPP


  //#define this if you want to have a pure STL application
ifdef BILDERBIKKEL_USE_STL_ONLY


ifdef NDEBUG

define Assert(x) ((void)0)

else //Else of: #ifdef NDEBUG

include <iostream>


define Assert(x) \

      if (! (x)) \
      { \
            std::cout \
               << "ERROR!! Assertion " << #x       \
               << " failed\n";                     \
               << " on line " << __LINE__ << "\n"; \
               << " in file " << __FILE__ << "\n"; \
               std::cin.get();                     \
               std::exit(1);                       \
      }
endif //End of: #ifdef NDEBUG


else //Else of: #ifdef BILDERBIKKEL_USE_STL_ONLY


ifdef NDEBUG

define Assert(x) ((void)0)

else //Else of: #ifdef NDEBUG

include <Dialogs.hpp> //For ShowMessage


define Assert(x) \

      if (! (x)) \
      { \
        ShowMessage(             \
            "ERROR!! Assertion " \
          + String (#x)          \
          + " failed\n on line " \
          +  (__LINE__)          \
          +  "\n in file "       \
          + (__FILE__)           \
          );                     \
      }
endif //End of: #ifdef NDEBUG


endif //Else of: #ifdef BILDERBIKKEL_USE_STL_ONLY


endif //End of: #ifndef __BILDERBIKKEL_ASSERT_HPP
