DEBUGCHK (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This macro asserts an expression and produces a DebugBreak if the expression is FALSE.

DEBUGCHK (Expression) 

Parameters

  • Expression
    Boolean value that determines when DebugBreak is called.

Return Values

None.

Remarks

This macro may be used to check the value of a Boolean expression and produce a DebugBreak if the expression evaluates FALSE.

This code causes DebugBreak to allow you to examine the situation in a debugger if the expression evaluates to FALSE. This macro also prints a debug message with the file name and line number where the assertion failed.

Call this macro to validate invariants in your code. For example:

 DEBUGCHK(dwCurrentNumberOfItems < dwMaxNumberOfItems);

Will print output like this:

 MyProgram: DEBUGCHK failed in file C:\WINCE500\Programs\MyProgram\.\main.c at line 31

This assertion is only present in Debug and builds; it does nothing on Retail and ship builds.

Calling this macro assumes that a global variable dpCurSettings has already been defined, where dpCurSettings must be a DBGPARAM structure. Use ASSERT within modules that do not define dpCurSettings, and DEBUGCHK within modules that do define dpCurSettings.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE OS 2.10 and later
Header: Dbgapi.h
Link Library: none
