SDL_assert_always(3)

NAME
SDL_assert_always - An assertion test that is always performed.

HEADER FILE
Defined in SDL3/SDL_assert.h

SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_assert_always(condition) SDL_enabled_assert(condition)

DESCRIPTION
This macro is always enabled no matter what

SDL_ASSERT_LEVEL
 is set to. You almost never want to use this, as it could trigger on an end-user's system, crashing your program.

One can set the environment variable " SDL_ASSERT " to one of several strings ("abort", "break", "retry", "ignore", "always_ignore") to force a default behavior, which may be desirable for automation purposes. If your platform requires GUI interfaces to happen on the main thread but you're debugging an assertion in a background thread, it might be desirable to set this to "break" so that your debugger takes control as soon as assert is triggered, instead of risking a bad UI interaction (deadlock, etc) in the application.

THREAD SAFETY
It is safe to call this macro from any thread.

AVAILABILITY
This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.
