Assert() in C

41 New Member
Hi ,

Anyone know another approach to evaluate the 2 variables below rather than using the assert ()?


Thanks in advance

char arr[100], **arrp;
assert(arrp >= arr);

as far as I know (and I've bot used assert in c, though I have used similar things in java), assert (at it's simplest) does very little and is the same as doing something like this (in pseudo of cawz):

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. void myAssert(boolean check)
  2. {
  3.   if(!check)
  4.     printError();
  5. }
  6.  
So it should be pretty easy behaviour to mimic IO would think

Does it not do some manipulation on the stack ?

Not as far as I know (but as I said earlier, I'm judging c's assert based on what I know about Java Assertions, so I'm surwe someone will correct me if I'm wrong....)
