Expand description

Set an application-defined assertion handler.

This function allows an application to show its own assertion UI and/or force the response to an assertion failure. If the application doesn’t provide this, SDL will try to do the right thing, popping up a system-specific GUI dialog, and probably minimizing any fullscreen windows.

This callback may fire from any thread, but it runs wrapped in a mutex, so it will only fire from one thread at a time.

This callback is NOT reset to SDL’s internal handler upon [SDL_Quit()]!

§Parameters

  • handler: the SDL_AssertionHandler function to call when an assertion fails or NULL for the default handler.
  • userdata: a pointer that is passed to handler.

§Thread safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

§Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
