lib_xassert: Lightweight assertions library

Summary¶

This library provides a lightweight and flexible replacement for the standard C header assert.h.

The assertions in this library can be be enabled/disabled and configured as to how much information they show. This configuration can be per xassert unit (i.e. for sets of files).

Features¶

• Low memory usage

• Ability to enable or disable various features via compile time defines

• Timing assertion system to check that code executes within a specified time limit

Known issues¶

• Timing assertion APIs currently use translation-unit-local static state and are not thread safe; xassert_timing_start()/xassert_timing_end() must be used within the same source file and from a single thread (#64)

• lib_xassert (https://www.github.com/xmos/lib_xassert)
