+adds mandatory checks to programs. If ARGUMENT(expression) is false,
+FUNCTION(assert) prints a diagnostic message to IDENTIFIER(stderr). The
+message includes the text of the failed assertion as well as the file name and
+line number of the source where the assertion failed. Compilers supporting
+std(C99) or higher will also include the name of the function in which the
+assertion failed. After printing the diagnostic message, THIS()
+causes abnormal program termination by calling FUNCTION(abort).
+
+If the macro IDENTIFIER(NDEBUG) is defined, THIS() is
+defined as DEFINITION(((void)0)).
