EXECUTE_ASSERT macro

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

Evaluates an expression in debug and retail builds. In debug builds, displays a diagnostic message if the expression is FALSE.

Syntax

void EXECUTE_ASSERT(
    cond
);

Parameters

cond

Expression to evaluate.

Return value

This macro does not return a value.

Remarks

Unlike the ASSERT macro, this macro evaluates the expression in retail builds. In debug builds, if the expression is FALSE, the macro displays a message box with the text of the expression, the name of the source file, and the line number. The user can ignore the assertion, enter the debugger, or quit the application.
