\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIexpression\fP Expression to test for\&.
.RE
.PP
The \fBassert()\fP macro tests the given expression and if it is false, the calling process is terminated\&. A diagnostic message is written to stderr and the function \fBabort()\fP is called, effectively terminating the program\&.
.PP
If expression is true, the \fBassert()\fP macro does nothing\&.
.PP
The \fBassert()\fP macro may be removed at compile time by defining NDEBUG as a macro (e\&.g\&., by using the compiler option -DNDEBUG)\&.
