+ <informalexample>
+ <programlisting>
+<![CDATA[
+ snd_BUG_ON(!pointer);
+]]>
+ </programlisting>
+ </informalexample>

+ The macro takes an conditional expression to evaluate.
+ When <constant>CONFIG_SND_DEBUG</constant>, is set, the
+ expression is actually evaluated. If it's non-zero, it shows
+ the warning message such as
+ <computeroutput>BUG? (xxx)</computeroutput>
+ normally followed by stack trace. It returns the evaluated
+ value.
+ When no <constant>CONFIG_SND_DEBUG</constant> is set, this
+ macro always returns zero.
