A, QA

Specifies an identifier for an assertion.

Syntax

Linux OS and OS X:

-Aname[(value)]

Windows OS:

/QAname[(value)]

name	Is the identifier for the assertion.
value	Is an optional value for the assertion. If a value is specified, it must be within quotes, including the parentheses delimiting it.

OFF	Assertions have no identifiers or symbol names.

This option specifies an identifier (symbol name) for an assertion. It is equivalent to an #assert preprocessing directive.

Note that this option is not the positive form of the C++ /QA- option.

Because GCC has deprecated assertions, this option has no effect.

None
