= SDL_TriggerBreakpoint =
Use this function to trigger a breakpoint during debugging.


== Syntax ==
<syntaxhighlight lang='c++'>
void SDL_TriggerBreakpoint(void)
</syntaxhighlight>

== Remarks ==
If the program is running under a debugger this function will trigger a breakpoint.  It is typically used temporarily during debugging or with other error handling. Note that if a debugger isn't running, on some platforms this can terminate your application.

This isn't actually a function, but rather a macro. The intention is that the debugger will stop on exactly this line of code instead of somewhere inside the SDL library. As such, [[CategoryAssertions|the assertion facility]] uses this so that the debugger stops on the exact line of code where an [[SDL_assert]] failed.
