(C++) Assert in a C++ Builder Console Application

The standard assert does not work nice in C++ Builder when working on a console application. Instead, one can use the code below, which does wait for a key press.

* View the code of 'Assert' in plain text.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#ifndef BilderbikkelConsoleAssertH

#define BilderbikkelConsoleAssertH

#ifdef NDEBUG

#define Assert(x) ((void)0)

#else

#include <iostream>

#define Assert(x) \

if (! (x)) \

{ \

std::cout \

<< "ERROR!! Assertion " \

<< std::string (#x) \

<< " failed\n on line " \

<< (__LINE__) \

<< " in the function " \

<< (__FUNC__) \

<< "\n in file " \

<< __FILE__ \

<< std::endl; \

std::string tempString; \

std::getline(std::cin,tempString); \

}
