           Summary: assert(0,"...") error message
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



This D2 program:

void main() {
    assert(0, "This is a message");
}


With dmd 2.048 prints:
object.Error: assert(0) or HLT instruction

It doesn't print the line number nor the "This is a message".

assert(0) is special. It's not meant for debugging, it's meant as a "this piece
of code should never have been reached, shut down the application", at least in
release mode.

From TDPL:

"In non-release mode, assert(false) does not do anything special, it just
throws an AssertError exception"

"In release mode assert(false) will always cause a program to stop. There will
be no exception, the program will crash by executing the HLT instruction"

You are right, thank you. I have erroneously compiled it in release mode. There
is no bug here.
