x86, IPF, x64 |
Header file <intrin.h>
Remarks
The __debugbreak compiler intrinsic, similar to DebugBreak, 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:
main() {
__debugbreak();
}
is similar to:
main() {
__asm {
int 3
}
}
on an x86 computer.
This routine is only available as an intrinsic.
