Method Detail

check

public static void check(boolean i_condition,
                         java.lang.String i_name)
                  throws Assertion.Failure

Checks, that i_condition holds.

Note:

If you want to give diagnostic parameters to an Assertion, you should yourself write the code e.g.

   if(!condition){
     throw new Assertion.Failure(name, stringPar1, new Integer(intPar2));
   }
 

This should not be committed to a check-Method, because creating a new capsule object for each parameter of a primitive type involves to much overhead in non-error cases, too.
