I realize that evaluation of assert() is short-circuited when NDEBUG is defined during the compile (i.e typically when optimizations are used). Using assert() in a test program like this is a very quick, very effective, way to insure that each of your OS calls is completing successfully. Much better (IMHO) than naively assuming that everything succeeds and then being dumbfounded later when things break in mysterious ways. -- William Hachfeld
