+ *
+ * You can pass them a format message and arguments, just as if it where a printf.
+ *
+ * If the statement evaluates to false, then a simgrid::AsertionError is thrown.
+ * This is identical to the xbt_assert macro, except that an exception is thrown instead of calling abort().
+ *
+ * Unlike the standard assert, xbt_enforce is never disabled, even if the macro NDEBUG is defined at compile time.
+ * Note however that this macro should *not* be used with a condition that has side effects, since the exception can be
+ * caught and ignored.
