How can I catch assertion failures - ecCodes FAQ

You want to handle fatal errors (assertions) yourself rather than have the library call abort()

Step-by-step guide

This can be done via the C API

Define a function with the following signature:

typedef void (*codes_assertion_failed_proc)(const char* message);

Then call

codes_set_codes_assertion_failed_proc(&your_function);

Now the library will call the chosen function (which for example could do nothing or throw a C++ exception) instead of the abort.

To restore the default behaviour, call

codes_set_codes_assertion_failed_proc(NULL);
