#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 AssertBreakpoint() for architectures where breakpoint assembly instructions are not supported.

#define NS_FATAL_ERROR

(

msg

)

Value:

do                                                    \
    {                                                   \
      std::cerr << msg << std::endl;            \
      int *a = 0;                                       \
      *a = 0;                                           \
    }                                                   \
  while (false)

fatal error handling

Parameters:

msg

message to output when this macro is hit.

When this macro is hit at runtime, the user-specified error message is output and the program is halted by dereferencing a null pointer. This macro is enabled unconditionally in all builds, including debug and optimized builds.
