/*! \defgroup CGAL_assert Assertions
    \brief <tt>\#include <CGAL/basic.h></tt> for pre- and postconditions,
    assertions, warnings, and error handler.

    \c CGAL/basic.h provides macros for pre- and postconditions, assertions,
    warnings, and errors that are active by default. There are variants
    for expensive checks that are inactive by default.

    A failed precondition, postcondition or assertion is a fatal error
    and the library aborts by default the program execution. For warnings
    the program continues to run. Both can be changed with the respective
    \c error_behavior or \c warning_behavior, or with the corresponding
    \c error_handler or \c warning_handler.

    However, if the checks are disabled with corresponding
    preprocessor symbols or \c NDEBUG, none of this error handling
    will happen and the program execution continues with potentially
    disastrous results. So, these checks are not for normal error
    handling, for example testing proper user input or file
    formats. Furthermore, it is recommended to keep the checks also in
    the production version of the program, keeping in mind that they
    should not cost too much runtime overhead, maybe 10%.

    \see \c CGAL_test for checks that cannot be disabled and
         \c CGAL_error_msg for an unconditional error message that cannot
         be disabled with macros.
