<b>Note:</b> <i>As of Rust 1.57 this crate is superseded by native support for
panic! in const contexts. Only consider using this crate if you care
about supporting compilers between 1.31 and 1.57.</i>

This crate provide macros assertions who can be used in `const` function.
- [Documentation](https://docs.rs/const_fn_assert)
- [Release notes](https://github.com/powlpy/const_fn_assert/releases)
## Example
```rust
const fn my_const_fn(x: u8) -> u8 {
cfn_assert!(x < 5);
x + 1
}
const _CONST: u8 = my_const_fn(1);
fn main() {
let _var = my_const_fn(2);
}
```
The function below panic when running :
```rust
fn fail() {
let _var = my_const_fn(6); //thread 'main' panicked at 'index out of bounds: the len is 1 but the index is 1'
}
```
And this code don't compile :
```rust
const _CONST: u8 = my_const_fn(6); //~ ERROR any use of this value will cause an error
```
Available macros are `cfn_assert`, `cfn_assert_eq`, `cfn_assert_ne`, `cfn_debug_assert`, `cfn_debug_assert_eq` and `cfn_debug_assert_ne`.
