NAME

       SDL_assert_paranoid - An assertion test that is performed only when built with paranoid settings.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_assert.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       #define SDL_assert_paranoid(condition) SDL_disabled_assert(condition)

DESCRIPTION

       This macro is enabled when the SDL_ASSERT_LEVEL
        is  >=  3,  otherwise it is disabled. This is a higher level than both release and debug, so these tests
       are meant to be expensive and only run when specifically looking for extremely unexpected  failure  cases
       in a special build.

       When  assertions  are disabled, this wraps condition in a sizeof operator, which means any function calls
       and side effects will not run, but the compiler will not complain about  any  otherwise-unused  variables
       that are only referenced in the assertion.

       One can set the environment variable " SDL_ASSERT " to one of several strings ("abort", "break", "retry",
       "ignore",  "always_ignore")  to force a default behavior, which may be desirable for automation purposes.
       If your platform requires GUI interfaces to happen on the main thread but you're debugging  an  assertion
       in  a background thread, it might be desirable to set this to "break" so that your debugger takes control
       as soon as assert is triggered,  instead  of  risking  a  bad  UI  interaction  (deadlock,  etc)  in  the
       application.

       It is safe to call this macro from any thread.
