(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is the current stable version. SDL2 was the previous version!)

SDL_HINT_ASSERT

A variable controlling response to SDL_assert failures.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_ASSERT "SDL_ASSERT"

Remarks

The variable can be set to the following case-sensitive values:

• "abort": Program terminates immediately.
• "break": Program triggers a debugger breakpoint.
• "retry": Program reruns the SDL_assert's test again.
• "ignore": Program continues on, ignoring this assertion failure this time.
• "always_ignore": Program continues on, ignoring this assertion failure for the rest of the run.

Note that SDL_SetAssertionHandler offers a programmatic means to deal with assertion failures through a callback, and this hint is largely intended to be used via environment variables by end users and automated tools.

This hint should be set before an assertion failure is triggered and can be changed at any time.

Version

This hint is available since SDL 3.1.3.
