What's the instruction to cause a hard-break in XCode? For example under Visual Studio I could do '_asm int 3' or 'DebugBreak()'. Under some GCC implementations it's asm("break 0") or asm("trap"). I've tried various combos under XCode without any luck. (inline assembler works fine so it's not a syntax issue). For reference this is for ...
What is the syntax and which namespace/class needs to be imported? Give me sample code if possible. It would be of great help. ...
I am using Visual Studio, developing a native application, I have a programmatical breakpoint (assert) in my code placed using __asm int 3 or __debugbreak. Sometimes when I hit it, I would like to disable it so that successive hits in the same debugging session no longer break into the debugger. How can I do this? ...
In MSVC, DebugBreak() or __debugbreak cause a debugger to break. On x86 it is equivalent to writing "_asm int 3", on x64 it is something different. When compiling with gcc (or any other standard compiler) I want to do a break into debugger, too. Is there a platform independent function or intrinsic? I saw the XCode question about that, b...
By that I mean, what do I need to do to have useful assertions in my code? MFC is quite easy, i just use ASSERT(something). What's the non-MFC way? Edit: Is it possible to stop assert breaking in assert.c rather than than my file which called assert()? Edit: What's the difference between <assert.h> & <cassert>? Accepted Answer: Load...
When debugging, sometimes you need to attach an already running process instead of just starting the application in a debugger. It's common for myself to put in a Sleep() or MessageBox call, so that it's easier to attach a debugger. I worry that some of these may be committed eventually to source control. What is the best thing to do...
I found the following article: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-fortran-compiler-microsoft-debugging-function-debugbreak/ Unfortunately when I tried to implement this code and compiled I received the following error: Error 1 error #7286: This symbol has multiply declared DEC$ ATTRIBUTES ALIAS attribute. [DEBUGBREAK] 17...
Hello, I want to make DebugBreak for iPad and found that asm{trap} should work, but there is a problem: if I use asm{trap} I have error: asm blocks not enabled, use `-fasm-blocks'. If I enable -fasm-blocks I have another error: -fasm-blocks option not supported for ARM. Do you know another way to implement DebugBreak or to make asm co...
My application has custom crash-handling built-in (see John Robbins' excellent book about "Debugging Windows Applications"). To test this functionality, I always used the Windows function DebugBreak() and this always worked perfectly. But since Windows 7, calling this function just says "A breakpoint has been reached" and stops the app...
Take the following simple source (name it test.cpp): #include <windows.h> void main() { DebugBreak(); } Compile and link this using the following commands: cl /MD /c test.cpp link /debug test.obj If TEST.EXE is now run (on a 64-bit Windows 7 system), you get the following dialog: Now add the following source file (name it test2...
