bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 20 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 21 * @code
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 22 * #error "That shouldn't have happened!"

bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 25 * If the compiler evaluates this line, it will report the error and stop the compile.
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 26 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 27 * For example, you could use this to check some user-defined compile-time variables:
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 28 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 29 * @code
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 30 * #define NUM_PORTS 7
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 31 * #if (NUM_PORTS > 4)
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 32 * #error "NUM_PORTS must be less than 4"
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 33 * #endif
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 34 * @endcode
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 35 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 36 * Reporting Run-Time Errors:
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 37 * To generate a fatal run-time error, you can use the mbed error() function.
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 38 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 39 * @code
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 40 * error("That shouldn't have happened!");
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 41 * @endcode
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 42 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 43 * If the mbed running the program executes this function, it will print the
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 44 * message via the USB serial port, and then die with the blue lights of death!
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 45 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 46 * The message can use printf-style formatting, so you can report variables in the
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 47 * message too. For example, you could use this to check a run-time condition:
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 48 *
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 49 * @code
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 50 * if(x >= 5) {
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 51 * error("expected x to be less than 5, but got %d", x);
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 52 * }
bogdanm 0:9b334a45a8ff 53 * #endcode
