<br/>
<b><big><a name="Purpose" id="Purpose">Purpose</a></big></b>
<br/>
These CppAD macros are used to detect and report errors.
They are documented here because they correspond to the C++
source code that the error is reported at.

<br/>
<br/>
<b><big><a name="NDEBUG" id="NDEBUG">NDEBUG</a></big></b>

<br/>
If the preprocessor symbol 
<a href="faq.xml#Speed.NDEBUG" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>NDEBUG</span></a>
 is defined,
these macros do nothing; i.e., they are optimized out.

<br/>
<br/>
<b><big><a name="Restriction" id="Restriction">Restriction</a></big></b>
<br/>
The CppAD user should not uses these macros.
You can however write your own macros that do not begin with <code><font color="blue">CPPAD</font></code>
and that call the <a href="errorhandler.xml" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>CppAD&#xA0;error&#xA0;handler</span></a>
.

<br/>
<br/>
<b><a name="Restriction.Known" id="Restriction.Known">Known</a></b>

<br/>
The <code><font color="blue">CPPAD_ASSERT_KNOWN</font></code> macro is used to check for an error
with a known cause.
For example, many CppAD routines uses these macros
to make sure their arguments conform to their specifications.

<br/>
<br/>
<b><a name="Restriction.Unknown" id="Restriction.Unknown">Unknown</a></b>

<br/>
The <code><font color="blue">CPPAD_ASSERT_UNKNOWN</font></code> macro is used to check that the 
CppAD internal data structures conform as expected.
If this is not the case, CppAD does not know why the error has 
occurred; for example, the user may have written past the end
of an allocated array.

<br/>
<br/>
<b><big><a name="Exp" id="Exp">Exp</a></big></b>
<br/>
The argument 
<code><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>exp</span></font></i></code>
 is a C++ source code expression
that results in a <code><font color="blue">bool</font></code> value that should be true.
If it is false, an error has occurred.
This expression may be execute any number of times 
(including zero times) so it must have not side effects.

<br/>
<br/>
<b><big><a name="Msg" id="Msg">Msg</a></big></b>
<br/>
The argument 
<code><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>msg</span></font></i></code>
 has prototype

<code><font color="blue"><span style='white-space: nowrap'><br/>
&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;const&#xA0;char&#xA0;*</span></font><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>msg</span></font></i><font color="blue"><span style='white-space: nowrap'><br/>
</span></font></code>
and contains a <code><font color="blue">'\0'</font></code> terminated character string.
This string is a description of the error 
corresponding to 
<code><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>exp</span></font></i></code>
 being false.

<br/>
<br/>
<b><big><a name="Error Handler" id="Error Handler">Error Handler</a></big></b>
<br/>
These macros use the 
<a href="errorhandler.xml" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>CppAD&#xA0;error&#xA0;handler</span></a>
 to report errors.
This error handler can be replaced by the user.
