ASSERT

Debugging helper macro to assert.

Description

void ASSERT(condition);
Debugging helper macro. Normally compiles away to nothing, but if you defined the preprocessor symbol DEBUGMODE before including Allegro headers, it will check the supplied condition and call al_assert() if it fails, whose default action is to stop the program and report the assert. You can use this macro even when Allegro has not been initialised. Example: 
      #define DEBUGMODE
      #include <allegro.h>
      ...
      void my_blitter(BITMAP *source, int flags)
      {
	 int some_variables;
	 ASSERT(source != NULL);
	 ASSERT(flags & GAME_RUNNING);
         ...
      }
