digitalmars.D - Temporary suggestion for assert

reply Ant <duitoolkit yahoo.ca> writes:
until the assert can print out more usefull information can we have
the program exit with something gdb can catch so we can print a
backtrace?

look out I'm doing:
	String insert(String string, int pos)
	in
	{
		if ( (pos < 0) || (pos >= length) )
		{
			printf("String.insert pos=%d, length=%d\n", pos, length);
			String s; s.split();
		}
	}
	body

:p

See http://www.digitalmars.com/techtips/unittests.html ?

But I think Walter said that filename and linenumber is
all that is needed, and the reason why assert doesn't
allow a message to be attached to it: assert(exp,"why");

Thanks, I guess I can do with that!

Why not put:

asm int 3;

in the assert handler.
