In some Roxen related modules we use macros like:

| #ifdef DEBUG
| #define ASSERT_IF_DEBUG(TEST, ARGS...) do {                             \
|     if (!(TEST)) error ("Assertion failed: " #TEST "\n", ARGS);         \
|   } while (0)
| #else
| #define ASSERT_IF_DEBUG(TEST, ARGS...) do {} while (0)
| #endif

These can then be used like:

| ASSERT_IF_DEBUG(foo->bar[baz /* %O */] /* %O */ <= foo->barmax /* %O */,
|                 baz, foo->bar[baz], foo->barmax);

Also in case nobody has noticed:
In Pike 7.9 the static_assert() macro from C11 was added. It can be
used to perform compile-time assertions. cf:
