func assert(_: () -> Bool, _: () -> String, file: StaticString, line: UInt) Traditional C-style assert with an optional message. Use this function for internal sanity checks that are active during testing but do not impact performance of shipping code. To check for invalid usage in Release builds; see precondition. In playgrounds and -Onone builds (the default for Xcode's Debug configuration): if condition evaluates to false, stop program execution in a debuggable state after printing message. In -O builds (the default for Xcode's Release configuration), condition is not evaluated, and there are no effects. In -Ounchecked builds, condition is not evaluated, but the optimizer may assume that it would evaluate to true. Failure to satisfy that assumption in -Ounchecked builds is a serious programming error. Declaration func assert(@autoclosure condition: () -> Bool, @autoclosure _ message: () -> String = default, file: StaticString = #file, line: UInt = #line)
