Detailed Description

Trigger a debugger breakpoint.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define NS_BREAKPOINT ( )    ns3::BreakpointFallback ()

Inserts a breakpoint instruction (or equivalent system call) into the code for selected machines.

When an NS_ASSERT cannot verify its condition, this macro is used. Falls back to calling ns3::BreakpointFallback() for architectures where breakpoint assembly instructions are not supported.

Function Documentation

void ns3::BreakpointFallback ( void  )

fallback breakpoint function

This function is used by the NS_BREAKPOINT() macro as a fallback for when breakpoint assembly instructions are not available. It attempts to halt program execution either by a raising SIGTRAP, on unix systems, or by dereferencing a null pointer.

Normally you should not call this function directly.

we test here to allow a debugger to change the value of the variable 'a' to allow the debugger to avoid the subsequent segfault.
