Function Documentation

ECL_PUBLIC void ecl_run_time_abort	(	const char *	location,
		const char *	msg = `"Abort procedure called."`
	)

Puts a customised error string to stderr before aborting the program.

Writes an error message to stderror before promptly aborting. Note that this one is not affected by the presence/absence of the macro NDEBUG.

Parameters:

location	: code location, use the LOC macro.
msg	: customised error string.

ECL_PUBLIC void ecl_run_time_abort	(	const char *	location,
		ecl::ErrorFlag	type
	)

Puts a predefined error string to stderr before aborting the program.

Writes an error message to stderror before promptly aborting with a pre-defined error message. Note that this one is not affected by the presence/absence of the macro NDEBUG.

Parameters:

location	: code location, use the LOC macro.
type	: predefined error message type tag.

ECL_PUBLIC void ecl_run_time_assert	(	bool	requirement,
		const char *	location,
		const char *	msg
	)

Condition test, aborts with a programmable error string if it fails.

Tests an assertion and if it fails, it writes a message (file, line# and warning) to stderror before aborting the program (and if on *nix, core dumping). This allows a customised user string for the error message.

This function is only available if NDEBUG is not set (i.e. debug mode).

Parameters:

requirement	: logic expression to test for truthfulness.
location	: code location, use the LOC macro.
msg	: customised error string.

ECL_PUBLIC void ecl_run_time_assert	(	bool	requirement,
		const char *	location,
		ecl::ErrorFlag	type
	)

Condition test, aborts with a predefined error string if it fails.

Tests an assertion and if it fails, it writes a message (file, line# and warning) to stderror before aborting the program (and if on *nix, core dumping). This uses a pre-defined error flag to generate the error message.

This function is only available if NDEBUG is not set (i.e. debug mode).

Parameters:

requirement	: logic expression to test for truthfulness.
location	: code location, use the LOC macro.
type	: predefined error message tag.
