Or would you rather use std::abort() just like the normal cassert implementation does?
On Windows 7 (at least with VC++), abort() pops up one of those "blah.exe has stopped working" dialog boxes. I haven't been able to kill it, in spite of lots of google searches, and it drives me crazy.
That said, std::abort() is probably right for many environments.
This should do the trick:
#include <cassert> #include <crtdbg.h> // Visual C++-specific int main() { #ifdef _MSC_VER // Redirect errors and assert() failures to stderr // instead of pop-up debug message window. // NOTE: Comment this 2 lines for debugging with // Visual C++ debugger to catch assertions inside. _CrtSetReportMode(_CRT_ERROR, _CRTDBG_MODE_FILE); _CrtSetReportFile(_CRT_ERROR, _CRTDBG_FILE_STDERR); #endif //_MSC_VER
assert(false && "test"); // no pop-up expected }
That's if you're in control of the code. Otherwise, \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\ForceQueue 1 I spent a few google iterations on that one, too. Other parameters have appealing-sounding names <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb513638%28VS.85%29.aspx>, but don't seem to affect the pop-up.
