If the specified .Fa level is not active .Fn SPLASSERT calls the .Fn KASSERT macro with the .Fa msg , terminating the running system. .Pp In a kernel that does not have both "options INVARIANTS" and "options INVARIANT_SUPPORT", the .Fn SPLASSERT macro is defined to be a no-op. .Sh EXAMPLES The kernel function .Fn rtalloc must be called at .Fn splnet : .Bd -literal -offset indent void rtalloc(ro) register struct route *ro; { SPLASSERT(net, "rtalloc()"); rtalloc_ign(ro, 0UL); } .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr config 8 , .Xr KASSERT 9 , .Xr panic 9 .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Jonathan M.
