pm_err::setAsserted Interface Reference

Verify the input assertion holds and if it does not, print the (optional) input message on stdout and halt the program via error stop or (optionally) return the program control to the caller routine, if requested.

Detailed Description

Verify the input assertion holds and if it does not, print the (optional) input message on stdout and halt the program via error stop or (optionally) return the program control to the caller routine, if requested.

The procedures under this generic interface are meant to be used primarily within the ParaMonte library routines to verify the runtime conditions that must hold when the library procedures are called by the end-user.

Parameters

[in]	assertion	: The input scalar logical of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., LK). If .true. it means that the desired condition holds. Otherwise, the program halts by calling error stop unless renabled = .true..
[in]	msg	: The input scalar character of default kind SK containing a descriptive message of the condition that must hold that leads to assertion = .true.. If present, the message if printed out on the output unit output_unit before halting the program (or returning the control to the caller). (optional, default = "")
[in]	renabled	: The input scalar logical of default kind LK. If .true., the program-control will be returned to the calling routine instead of terminating the program via error stop. This capability is particularly needed during the testing of the various components of the ParaMonte library, when fatal error must be handled gracefully. (optional, default = .false.)

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

use pm_err, only: setAsserted
 
call setAsserted(assertion, msg = msg, renabled = renabled)

Remarks

The procedures under discussion are impure.
