[fdo-dev] Assertions

[Greg Boone]

In general the rule is not to use assertions in FDO code. The general
rule is to throw an exception.

Hi,

What is the recommended way to set assertions in FDO code?
As I see, there are used two types of asserts in FDO code:
- assert from <cassert> header
- ASSERT macro

I suppose that ASSERT macro is re-definition of _ASSERT from Windows
and on non-Windows platforms it is defined as empty macro, file
Fdo/Unmanaged/Src/Fdo/Schema/SchemaAttributeDictionary.cpp
or
Providers/GenericRdbms/Src/Fdo/Schema/FdoRdbmsDescribeSchemaCommand.cpp

Any recommendations?

FDO_CPPUNIT_ASSERT and CPPUNIT_ASSERT are only for usage in Unit
Tests, right?

Best regards
