Android NDK assert.h problems

Question

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?

Answer 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
