Causes a breakpoint in your code, where the user will be prompted to run the debugger.
void __debugbreak();| Intrinsic | Architecture | Header |
|---|---|---|
__debugbreak | x86, x64, ARM, ARM64 | <intrin.h> |
The__debugbreak compiler intrinsic, similar toDebugBreak, is a portable Win32 way to cause a breakpoint.
Note
When compiling with/clr, a function containing__debugbreak will be compiled to MSIL.asm int 3 causes a function to be compiled to native. For more information, see__asm.
For example:
int main() { __debugbreak();}is similar to:
int main() { __asm { int 3 }}on an x86 computer.
On ARM64, the__debugbreak intrinsic is compiled into the instructionbrk #0xF000.
This routine is only available as an intrinsic.
