NSAssert()只是一个宏,用于开发阶段调试程序中的Bug,通过为NSAssert()传递条件表达式来断定是否属于Bug,满足条件返回真值,程序继续运行,如果返回假值,则抛出异常,并切可以自定义异常描述。NSAssert()是这样定义的:
#define NSAssert(condition, desc)
condition是条件表达式,值为YES或NO;desc为异常描述,通常为NSString。当conditon为YES时程序继续运行,为NO时,则抛出带有desc描述的异常信息。NSAssert()可以出现在程序的任何一个位置。具体事例如下:
生成一个LotteryEntry对象时,传入的NSDate不能为nil,加入NSAssert()判断。对象初始化源码如下:
- (id)initWithEntryDate:(NSDate *)theDate
{
self =
[super init];
if (self)
{
NSAssert(theDate
!= nil, @"Argument must be
non-nil");
entryDate =
theDate;
firstNumber =
(int)random()
% 100 + 1;
secondNumber =
(int)random()
% 100 + 1;
}
return self;
}
接下来则是生成对象时传入一个值为nil的NSDate,看断言是否运行。
LotteryEntry *nilEntry =
[[LotteryEntry alloc] initWithEntryDate:nil];
断言效果如下:
