DESCRIPTION

24       The ASSERT() macro checks to see if the expression EX is true. If it is
25       not, then ASSERT() causes an error message to be logged to the  console
26       and the system to panic. ASSERT() works only if the preprocessor symbol
27       DEBUG is defined.
28

CONTEXT

30       The ASSERT() macro can be used from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
