Utility providing methods for negative testing of assertion macros.
Declared in <bsls_asserttest.h>
struct AssertTest;This utility struct provides a suite of methods designed for use in conjunction with preprocessor macros during the negative testing of defensive checks using the facilities provided by the bsls_assert component. Unlike usual BDE functionality methods in this struct provide wide contracts because they need to function without assertion failures during testing, under unforeseen circumstances.

failTestDriver [noreturn] | Throw or abort in response to an assertion violation. |
failTestDriverByReview | Throw or abort in response to a review violation. |
isValidAssertBuild | Return whether specString is a valid assertion build-type specifier. |
isValidExpected | Return whether specChar is a valid expected-result specifier. |
isValidExpectedLevel | Return whether specChar is a valid expected assertion level. |
tryProbe | Return whether a pass-probe specification is valid. |
tryProbeRaw | Return whether a raw pass-probe specification is valid. |
