C++ Assert() assertion mechanism principle and usage

MSDN原文如是说:

Evaluates an expression and, when the result is false, prints a diagnostic message and aborts the program.

(判断一个表达式,如果结果为假,输出诊断消息并中止程序。)

void assert(   
   int expression   
);
Copy after login

参数:Expression (including pointers) that evaluates to nonzero or 0.(表达式【包括指针】是非零或零)

原理:assert的作用是现计算表达式 expression ,如果其值为假(即为0),那么它先向stderr打印一条出错信息,然后通过调用 abort 来终止程序运行。

MSDN示例程序;

// crt_assert.c  
// compile with: /c  
#include <stdio.h>  
#include <assert.h>  
#include <string.h>  
  
void analyze_string( char *string );   // Prototype  
  
int main( void )  
{  
   char  test1[] = "abc", *test2 = NULL, test3[] = "";  
  
   printf ( "Analyzing string &#39;%s&#39;\n", test1 ); fflush( stdout );  
   analyze_string( test1 );  
   printf ( "Analyzing string &#39;%s&#39;\n", test2 ); fflush( stdout );  
   analyze_string( test2 );  
   printf ( "Analyzing string &#39;%s&#39;\n", test3 ); fflush( stdout );  
   analyze_string( test3 );  
}  
  
// Tests a string to see if it is NULL,   
// empty, or longer than 0 characters.  
void analyze_string( char * string )  
{  
   assert( string != NULL );        // Cannot be NULL  
   assert( *string != &#39;\0&#39; );       // Cannot be empty  
   assert( strlen( string ) > 2 );  // Length must exceed 2  
}
Copy after login

输出结果

Analyzing string &#39;abc&#39;  
Analyzing string &#39;(null)&#39;  
Assertion failed: string != NULL, file assert.cpp, line 25  
  
abnormal program termination

用法总结:

1)在函数开始处检验传入参数的合法性
如:

int resetBufferSize(int nNewSize)
{
//功能:改变缓冲区大小,
//参数:nNewSize 缓冲区新长度
//返回值:缓冲区当前长度
//说明:保持原信息内容不变 nNewSize<=0表示清除缓冲区
assert(nNewSize >= 0);
assert(nNewSize <= MAX_BUFFER_SIZE);

...
}

2)每个assert只检验一个条件,因为同时检验多个条件时,如果断言失败,无法直观的判断是哪个条件失败

不好: assert(nOffset>=0 && nOffset+nSize<=m_nInfomationSize);

好: assert(nOffset >= 0);
assert(nOffset+nSize <= m_nInfomationSize);


3)不能使用改变环境的语句,因为assert只在DEBUG个生效,如果这么做,会使用程序在真正运行时遇到问题


错误: assert(i++ < 100)
这是因为如果出错,比如在执行之前i=100,那么这条语句就不会执行,那么i++这条命令就没有执行。
正确: assert(i < 100);
i++;


4)assert和后面的语句应空一行,以形成逻辑和视觉上的一致感

5)有的地方,assert不能代替条件过滤

ASSERT只有在Debug版本中才有效,如果编译为Release版本则被忽略掉。(在C中,ASSERT是宏而不是函数),使用ASSERT“断言”容易在debug时输出程序错误所在。
而assert()的功能类似,它是ANSI C标准中规定的函数,它与ASSERT的一个重要区别是可以用在Release版本中。

使用assert的缺点是,频繁的调用会极大的影响程序的性能,增加额外的开销。
在调试结束后,可以通过在包含#include 的语句之前插入 #define NDEBUG 来禁用assert调用,示例代码如下:
#include
#define NDEBUG
#include

加入#define NDEBUG之后,上文第一个例子输出结果为:

Analyzing string &#39;abc&#39;  
Analyzing string &#39;(null)&#39;  
Analyzing string &#39;&#39;

在面试中经常用到的一个题目:

已知memcpy的函数为: void* memcpy(void *dest , const void* src , size_t count)其中dest是目的指针,src是源指针。不调用c++/c的memcpy库函数,请编写memcpy。

void* memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, size_t count)      
{      
    //安全检查  
    assert( (dst != NULL) && (src != NULL) );      
  
    unsigned char *pdst = (unsigned char *)dst;      
    const unsigned char *psrc = (const unsigned char *)src;      
  
    //防止内存重复  
    assert(!(psrc<=pdst && pdst<psrc+count));      
    assert(!(pdst<=psrc && psrc<pdst+count));      
  
    while(count--)      
    {      
        *pdst = *psrc;      
        pdst++;      
        psrc++;      
    }      
    return dst;      
}

What is the role of char in C strings What is the role of char in C strings Apr 03, 2025 pm 03:15 PM

In C, the char type is used in strings: 1. Store a single character; 2. Use an array to represent a string and end with a null terminator; 3. Operate through a string operation function; 4. Read or output a string from the keyboard.

Four ways to implement multithreading in C language Four ways to implement multithreading in C language Apr 03, 2025 pm 03:00 PM

Multithreading in the language can greatly improve program efficiency. There are four main ways to implement multithreading in C language: Create independent processes: Create multiple independently running processes, each process has its own memory space. Pseudo-multithreading: Create multiple execution streams in a process that share the same memory space and execute alternately. Multi-threaded library: Use multi-threaded libraries such as pthreads to create and manage threads, providing rich thread operation functions. Coroutine: A lightweight multi-threaded implementation that divides tasks into small subtasks and executes them in turn.

The calculation of C35 is essentially combinatorial mathematics, representing the number of combinations selected from 3 of 5 elements. The calculation formula is C53 = 5! / (3! * 2!), which can be directly calculated by loops to improve efficiency and avoid overflow. In addition, understanding the nature of combinations and mastering efficient calculation methods is crucial to solving many problems in the fields of probability statistics, cryptography, algorithm design, etc.

distinct function usage distance function c usage tutorial distinct function usage distance function c usage tutorial Apr 03, 2025 pm 10:27 PM

std::unique removes adjacent duplicate elements in the container and moves them to the end, returning an iterator pointing to the first duplicate element. std::distance calculates the distance between two iterators, that is, the number of elements they point to. These two functions are useful for optimizing code and improving efficiency, but there are also some pitfalls to be paid attention to, such as: std::unique only deals with adjacent duplicate elements. std::distance is less efficient when dealing with non-random access iterators. By mastering these features and best practices, you can fully utilize the power of these two functions.

How to apply snake nomenclature in C language? How to apply snake nomenclature in C language? Apr 03, 2025 pm 01:03 PM

In C language, snake nomenclature is a coding style convention, which uses underscores to connect multiple words to form variable names or function names to enhance readability. Although it won't affect compilation and operation, lengthy naming, IDE support issues, and historical baggage need to be considered.

The release_semaphore function in C is used to release the obtained semaphore so that other threads or processes can access shared resources. It increases the semaphore count by 1, allowing the blocking thread to continue execution.

C   and System Programming: Low-Level Control and Hardware Interaction C and System Programming: Low-Level Control and Hardware Interaction Apr 06, 2025 am 12:06 AM

C is suitable for system programming and hardware interaction because it provides control capabilities close to hardware and powerful features of object-oriented programming. 1)C Through low-level features such as pointer, memory management and bit operation, efficient system-level operation can be achieved. 2) Hardware interaction is implemented through device drivers, and C can write these drivers to handle communication with hardware devices.
