Architecture Rules is a Java library that allows a programmer to assert code's architecture via unit tests or ant tasks. This test is able to assert that specific packages do not depend on others and is able to check for and report on cyclic dependencies among your project's packages and classes. This project wraps a industry accepted JDepend to simplify the process of maintaining a solid software architecture.
ASSERT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ASSERT(3)NAME
assert - abort the program if assertion is false
SYNOPSIS
#include <assert.h>
void assert(scalar expression);
DESCRIPTION
If the macro NDEBUG was defined at the moment <assert.h> was last included, the macro assert() generates no code, and hence does nothing at
all. Otherwise, the macro assert() prints an error message to standard output and terminates the program by calling abort() if expression
is false (i.e., compares equal to zero).
The purpose of this macro is to help the programmer find bugs in his program. The message "assertion failed in file foo.c, function
do_bar(), line 1287" is of no help at all to a user.
RETURN VALUE
No value is returned.
CONFORMING TO
ISO9899 (ANSI C). In the 1990 standard, expression is required to be of type int and undefined behavior results if it is not, but in the
1999 standard it may have any scalar type.
BUGS
assert() is implemented as a macro; if the expression tested has side-effects, program behaviour will be different depending on whether
NDEBUG is defined. This may create Heisenbugs which go away when debugging is turned on.
