SDL_AssertData(3type)

πŸ’… SDL_AssertData β€” from the SDL3 DATATYPES chapter of the manual, bestie

okay so picture this: your program hits an assertion, everything goes sideways, and you need the ✨receipts✨ of what just happened. That's literally what SDL_AssertData is β€” it's the struct that holds all the deets about an assertion failure. No cap.


🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_AssertData β€” Information about an assertion failure. that's it, that's the whole vibe. πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_assert.h>

typedef struct SDL_AssertData
{
    bool always_ignore;  /**< true if app should always continue when assertion is triggered. */
    unsigned int trigger_count; /**< Number of times this assertion has been triggered. */
    const char *condition;  /**< A string of this assert's test code. */
    const char *filename;  /**< The source file where this assert lives. */
    int linenum;  /**< The line in `filename` where this assert lives. */
    const char *function;  /**< The name of the function where this assert lives. */
    const struct SDL_AssertData *next;  /**< next item in the linked list. */
} SDL_AssertData;

look at her. she's structured. she's organized. she's giving main character energy. πŸ‘‘


πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So this structure gets filled in with all the info about an assertion that got triggered β€” the assertion handler is the one who fills it, and then it gets added to the assertion report. πŸ“

And the plot twist? It comes back to you as a linked list from SDL_GetAssertionReport(). So like, one SDL_AssertData points to the next one, which points to the next one, and it's a whole conga line of assertion drama. πŸ¦‹πŸ’€


πŸŽ€ AVAILABILITY πŸŽ€

This struct is available since SDL 3.2.0. she's been around, she's established, she's iconic. ✨
