GLib.assert_cmpmem
Description: Reference for GLib.assert_cmpmem

### Function Macro

# GLibassert_cmpmem

since: 2.46

#### Declaration [src]

    #define g_assert_cmpmem (
      m1,
      l1,
      m2,
      l2
    )

#### Description [src]

Debugging macro to compare memory regions.

If the comparison fails, an error message is logged and the application is either terminated or the testcase marked as failed.

The effect of `g_assert_cmpmem (m1, l1, m2, l2)` is the same as `g_assert_true (l1 == l2 && memcmp (m1, m2, l1) == 0)`. The advantage of this macro is that it can produce a message that includes the actual values of `l1` and `l2`.

`m1` may be `NULL` if (and only if) `l1` is zero; similarly for `m2` and `l2`.

      g_assert_cmpmem (buf->data, buf->len, expected, sizeof (expected));

Available since: 2.46
