Assert

Usage

use Assert;

Support for simple assert() routines.

Note

All Chapel programs automatically use this module by default. An explicit use statement is not necessary.

In the current implementation, these asserts never become no-ops. That is, using them will always incur execution-time checks.

proc assert(test: bool)

Assert that a boolean condition is true. If it is false, prints 'assert failed' and halts the program.

Arguments:test : bool -- the boolean condition

proc assert(test: bool, args ...?numArgs)

Assert that a boolean condition is true. If it is false, prints 'assert failed - ' followed by all subsequent arguments, as though printed using write().

Arguments:

• test : bool -- the boolean condition
• args -- other arguments to print
