Which of the following is the correct way to use configASSERT() to verify that a pointer ptr is not NULL?

AconfigASSERT(ptr != NULL);

BconfigASSERT(ptr = NULL);

CconfigASSERT(ptr == NULL);

DconfigASSERT(!ptr);

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the assertion condition
The assertion should check that ptr is not NULL, so the condition must be ptr != NULL.
Step 2: Analyze options
configASSERT(ptr != NULL); correctly uses ptr != NULL. configASSERT(ptr = NULL); uses assignment instead of comparison, which is incorrect. configASSERT(ptr == NULL); checks if ptr is NULL, which is the opposite. configASSERT(!ptr); asserts if ptr is false (NULL), which is incorrect.
Final Answer:
configASSERT(ptr != NULL); -> Option A
Quick Check:
Check pointer not NULL with != [OK]

Quick Trick: Use '!=' to check pointer is not NULL [OK]
