CONFIG_ASSERT¶

Enable __ASSERT() macro

Type: bool

Help¶

This enables the __ASSERT() macro in the kernel code. If an assertion
fails, the policy for what to do is controlled by the implementation
of the assert_post_action() function, which by default will trigger
a fatal error.

Disabling this option will cause assertions to compile to nothing,
improving performance and system footprint.

Default¶

y if TEST
