Assertions are used in C/C++ code to identify situations which should never happen, although they are removed at runtime. See geeksforgeeks.org/assertions-cc

@RobertHarvey I don't see the relevance? I would hope that a unittest library's assertion methods would not behave the same!

@RobertHarvey: C/C++ assert calls are not all that useful in unittesting. They terminate the application, including the testrunner.
