From: Vadim Zeitlin Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2012 00:39:29 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Open debugger at the location of failing assert, if possible. X-Git-Url: https://git.saurik.com/wxWidgets.git/commitdiff_plain/55fd62c1e370bef69657f220ddd591743e842be8?ds=sidebyside Open debugger at the location of failing assert, if possible. Break into the debugger in the function containing the assert that failed instead of inside wxWidgets assert handler which is several (~8) levels below the last line of the user code. This is much more useful in practice and also less confusing. Currently this only works for MSVC as the other compilers don't have any __debugbreak intrinsice equivalent. Also update the except sample to test wxTrap() directly too. Closes #11184. git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@73124 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775 --- diff --git a/include/wx/debug.h b/include/wx/debug.h index f1a4d9b4e8..b6a61e293e 100644 --- a/include/wx/debug.h +++ b/include/wx/debug.h @@ -251,22 +251,41 @@ extern WXDLLIMPEXP_BASE void wxOnAssert(const char *file, this macro only does anything if wxDEBUG_LEVEL >= 2. */ #if wxDEBUG_LEVEL - // call this function to break into the debugger unconditionally (assuming - // the program is running under debugger, of course) - extern void WXDLLIMPEXP_BASE wxTrap();
