How to exit an android NDK application

Question

I'm making my own assert macro using Android NDK in C++ like in this answer, but there is an std::exit function that can not be used in Android. Is there some alternative like std::exit in Android?

Answer 1

Had a similar requirement and found std::terminate works. In particular, on iOS (and quite likely Android) it causes a "forced" crash which Application Performance Management Tools (aka Crash Loggers) like Crashlytics would pick up and report.

• Evidence that Android handles std::terminate: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk.git/+/429798ff636b0553e4ff3c692067718caa9c454e/sources/cxx-stl/gabi++/src/terminate.cc
