About:

Platform independent wrapping of "nice to have" debug functions.

• assert.h - implements a replacement for the standard assert() macro supporting callback at assert, and error-message with printf-format.
• callstack.h - implements capturing of callstack/backtrace + translation of captured symbols into name, file, line and offset.
• debugger.h - implements debugger_present to check if a debugger is attached to the process.
• static_assert.h - defines the macro STATIC_ASSERT( condition, message_string ) in an "as good as possible way" depending on compiler features and support. It will try to use builtin support for static_assert and _Static_assert if possible.
• fpe_ctrl.h - implements platform independent functions to get/set floating point exception and enable trapping of the same exceptions.
• hw_breakpoint.h - implements platform independent hardware breakpoints.

Design:

The files are designed to be able to be used by them self, only header and src should be needed by the user and all files should work by them self and compile with all common compilers without to many specific fixes.

Notes:

• MSVC - callstack_symbols() require linking against Dbghelp.lib.
• GCC/Clang - callstack_symbols() require -rdynamic to be sepcified as link-flag to get valid symbols.
