You are not using the assert properly. This function should be used only to test the code. An assert should never be reached in a released product. Assert is used to detect errors in your code, not detect a file which is missing. In your case, if the file doesn't not exist you should handle the error in a better way. For instance your function could return an error code or throw an exception which has to be handled at a higher level.

I concur with Cédric.
Use assert to discover logic flaws in your program while debugging, don't use it to detect exceptional circumstances, things that go wrong not because there is an error in your program, but because the circumstances are against you, as in a missing file. Hence:

// EDIT
#define null NULL
// /EDIT

if (fp==null) {
    // whatever needs to happen when the file won't open
} else {
    // whatever you want to do with the file
}

you have memory leak.

check your program that every new function match a delete function.

remember to release every resource you have got.

You have got tools to detect whether you have a memory leak. Search for BoundsChecker or Rationals Purify plus.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Does your debugger report memory leaks in the output window after your binary finishes execution (in debug mode)?
