23 * # CategoryAssert
24 *
25 * A helpful assertion macro!
26 *
27 * SDL assertions operate like your usual `assert` macro, but with some added
28 * features:
29 *
30 * - It uses a trick with the `sizeof` operator, so disabled assertions
31 * vaporize out of the compiled code, but variables only referenced in the
32 * assertion won't trigger compiler warnings about being unused.
33 * - It is safe to use with a dangling-else: `if (x) SDL_assert(y); else
34 * do_something();`
35 * - It works the same everywhere, instead of counting on various platforms'
36 * compiler and C runtime to behave.
37 * - It provides multiple levels of assertion (SDL_assert, SDL_assert_release,
38 * SDL_assert_paranoid) instead of a single all-or-nothing option.
39 * - It offers a variety of responses when an assertion fails (retry, trigger
40 * the debugger, abort the program, ignore the failure once, ignore it for
41 * the rest of the program's run).
42 * - It tries to show the user a dialog by default, if possible, but the app
43 * can provide a callback to handle assertion failures however they like.
44 * - It lets failed assertions be retried. Perhaps you had a network failure
45 * and just want to retry the test after plugging your network cable back
46 * in? You can.
47 * - It lets the user ignore an assertion failure, if there's a harmless
48 * problem that one can continue past.
49 * - It lets the user mark an assertion as ignored for the rest of the
50 * program's run; if there's a harmless problem that keeps popping up.
51 * - It provides statistics and data on all failed assertions to the app.
52 * - It allows the default assertion handler to be controlled with environment
53 * variables, in case an automated script needs to control it.
54 * - It can be used as an aid to Clang's static analysis; it will treat SDL
55 * assertions as universally true (under the assumption that you are serious
56 * about the asserted claims and that your debug builds will detect when
57 * these claims were wrong). This can help the analyzer avoid false
58 * positives.
59 *
60 * To use it: compile a debug build and just sprinkle around tests to check
61 * your code!

542 * an assertion in a background thread, it might be desirable to set this to
543 * "break" so that your debugger takes control as soon as assert is triggered,
544 * instead of risking a bad UI interaction (deadlock, etc) in the application.
