Assertion Checking

This module provide a variety of assert()-style macros. Unlike the standard assert() macro from <assert.h>, most of these macros are typed so the input values can be propogated to the string output on failure.

For documentation, µnit offers very similar macros (this module was originally based off of the macros from µnit), most of the documentation for them applies to this module's macros, just substitute the munit_ namespace with psnip_.

Additionally, unless you define PSNIP_CHECK_FAIL_DEFINED, a failing assertion should be considered undefined behavior when NDEBUG and/or PSNIP_NDEBUG is defined. This allows the compiler to perform optimizations which would not otherwise be possible.

Dependencies

To maximize portability you should #include the exact-int module before including check.h, but if you don't want to add the extra file to your project you can omit it and this module will simply rely on <stdint.h>. As an alternative you may define the following macros to appropriate values yourself:

• psnip_int8_t
• psnip_uint8_t
• psnip_int16_t
• psnip_uint16_t
• psnip_int32_t
• psnip_uint32_t
• psnip_int64_t
• psnip_uint64_t

Including Hedley before check.h will significantly improve compiler support and may improve performance.
