CFIXCC_ASSERT_NOT_EQUALS

Synopsis

CFIXCC_ASSERT_NOT_EQUALS allows typesafe comparison of values. Failed comparisons are treated as a failure, i.e. in the same manner as a failed CFIX_ASSERT. The benefit over using CFIX_ASSERT( Expected != Actual ) is that the expected and actual value will be visible in the failure report.

Declaration

void CFIXCC_ASSERT_NOT_EQUALS( 
	__in T Expected, 
	__in T Actual 
	);

T can be any type, but the types of both values must be compatible. See discussion below.

Parameters

[in] Expected: The expected value.

[in] Actual: The actual value that is to be checked.

Remarks

The way the comparison is conducted depends on the type of the two values.

Primitive integer objects are compared using the builtin != operator.
Pointers are checked for address inequality. An exception to this are C strings (char*, const char*, wchar_t*, const wchar_t*). Such strings will be wrapped by std::string and std::wstring objects respectively, and operator!= of std::string or std::wstring will be invoked. That is, a value-comparison is conducted.
For non-primitive, non-pointer types, i.e. objects of a custom class, operator!= of the respective class is invoked.

Usage example

CFIXCC_ASSERT_NOT_EQUALS( 1, 2 );
CFIXCC_ASSERT_NOT_EQUALS( L"test", L"" );
