Cortex debug condition assertion

Used to popular ASSERT(condition) macro? Code below stops on faulty condition when debugging Cortex CPU. BE CAREFUL: use code build with _DEBUG or DEBUG define when debugging  BUT DON'T use same code without debugger.

#if defined ( _DEBUG ) || defined ( DEBUG )
  #define ASSERT(expr) { if ( !(expr) ) { __ASM__(" bkpt #0"); } }
#else
  #define ASSERT(...) { }
#endif

Usage:

void someFunc(int inputParam)
{
  ASSERT( inputParam < 5 );  ///< execution will stop here if inputParam >= 5
  ...
}
