What is the difference between the ASSERT and VERIFY macros?..

Answer / muthukumar. j

Both ASSERT and VERIFY macros behave in the same Manner in
debug Version.

But in Release version the Expression in the ASSERT is
ignored. And in Release version the Expression in the
VERIFY is evaluated. But not verified. Means the expression
is evaluated. And like dubug it is NOT stop the execution
if the expression evaluated to FALSE.

What is the difference between the ASSERT and VERIFY macros?..

Answer / ctharam

ASSERT:-
--------
This function is available only in the Debug version of MFC.

Ctharam* tharamage = new Ctharam(21); //Ctharam is derived from CObject.
ASSERT(tharamage != NULL);
ASSERT(tharamage ->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(Ctharam)));
// Terminates program only if tharamage is NOT a Ctharam*.

VERIFY:-
-------
1)
In the Debug version of MFC, evaluates its argument.

ex:- VERIFY(booleanExpression )

2)

In the Release version of MFC, VERIFY evaluates the expression

Ex:-
// get the display device context
HDC hdc;
VERIFY((hdc = ::GetDC(hwnd)) != NULL);

// give the display context back
::ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc);
