Android NDK assert.h problems

问题:

First one - is what NDEBUG somehow already defined by default, so asserts don't work until you #undef it. Second one - they do they work, but i receive no logging in DDMS.

If there is some android specific one assert.h?

Or i just do something wrong?

回答1:

If you want to compile your code with asserts then you can do it in three ways:

• use NDK_DEBUG=1 argument in ndk-build commandline
• add android:debuggable="true" to < application > tag in AndroidManifest.xml
• add APP_OPTIM := debug to your Application.mk file - this will also disable optimizations and will compile with debug symbols

Usually program will crash due to SIGSEGV signal after assert() is called, by default NDEBUG is define, you may turn off by add the flag (LOCAL_CFLAGS += -UNDEBUG) during compilation but not work for my case.

I found another solution is using __android_log_assert, simply define as below and replace assert() with assert3:

#define assert3(e...) __android_log_assert(e, "TAG", #e)
