.Dt SPLASSERT 9
.Sh NAME
.Nm SPLASSERT
.Nd kernel spl level verification macro
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd options INVARIANTS
.Fd options INVARIANT_SUPPORT
.Fn SPLASSERT "char *level, char *msg"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
In a kernel compiled with both "options INVARIANTS"
and "options INVARIANT_SUPPORT",
the
.Fn SPLASSERT
macro compares the current spl level of the kernel with the spl
.Ar level
specified in the macro
.Fn SPLASSERT
If the specified
.Ar level
is not active
.Fn SPLASSERT
calls the
.Fn KASSERT
macro with the
.Ar msg,
terminating the running system.
.Pp
In a kernel that does not have both "options INVARIANTS"
and "options INVARIANT_SUPPORT",
the
.Fn SPLASSERT
macro is defined to be no-op.
.Sh EXAMPLE
The kernel function
.Fn rtredirect
must be called at
.Fn splnet
.Bd -literal -offset indent
void
rtalloc(ro)
register struct route *ro;
{
SPLASSERT(net, "rtalloc()");
rtalloc_ign(ro, 0UL);
}
