.Dt KASSERT 9
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm KASSERT
|
|
.Nd kernel expression verification macro
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd options INVARIANTS
|
|
.Fn KASSERT "int expression, const char *msg"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
In a kernel compiled with "options INVARIANTS",
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn KASSERT
|
|
macro tests the given
|
|
.Ar expression
|
|
and if it is false,
|
|
calls the
|
|
.Fn panic
|
|
syscall, terminating the running system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In a kernel that does not have "options INVARIANTS",
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn KASSERT
|
|
macro is defined to be a no-op.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The kernel function
|
|
.Fn vput
|
|
must not be called with a NULL pointer.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
void
|
|
vput(vp)
|
|
struct vnode *vp;
|
|
{
|
|
struct proc *p = curproc;
|
|
KASSERT(vp != NULL, ("vput: null vp"));
|
|
...
|
|
}
