rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 10 * To generate a fatal compile-time error, you can use the pre-processor #error directive.
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 11 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 12 * > #error "That shouldn't have happened!"
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 13 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 14 * If the compiler evaluates this line, it will report the error and stop the compile.
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 15 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 16 * For example, you could use this to check some user-defined compile-time variables:
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 17 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 18 * > #define NUM_PORTS 7
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 19 * > #if (NUM_PORTS > 4)
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 20 * > #error "NUM_PORTS must be less than 4"
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 21 * > #endif
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 22 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 23 * Reporting Run-Time Errors:
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 24 * To generate a fatal run-time error, you can use the mbed error() function.
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 25 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 26 * > error("That shouldn't have happened!");
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 27 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 28 * If the mbed running the program executes this function, it will print the
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 29 * message via the USB serial port, and then die with the blue lights of death!
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 30 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 31 * The message can use printf-style formatting, so you can report variables in the
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 32 * message too. For example, you could use this to check a run-time condition:
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 33 *
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 34 * > if(x >= 5) {
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 35 * > error("expected x to be less than 5, but got %d", x);
rolf.meyer@arm.com 11:1c1ebd0324fa 36 * > }
