cannot print assert information

[jerabaul29]

I am using the core v1 in its latest version. I cannot use the core v2 for my application, due to the problems mentioned in #347 and #349 .

I am trying to get some asserts to display some information when hitting a false condition. I try to follow the "usual" arduino way:

#define __ASSERT_USE_STDERR

#include <assert.h>

void setup() {                
    // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second.
    Serial.begin(115200);  
    Serial.println();
    Serial.println(F("hello"));
    delay(10);
    assert(false);
    Serial.println(F("this should not appear"));
}

void loop(){
}

void __assert(const char *__func, const char *__file, int __lineno, const char *__sexp) {
    Serial.println(F("----- assert information -----"));
    Serial.println(__func);
    Serial.println(__file);
    Serial.println(__lineno, DEC);
    Serial.println(__sexp);
    Serial.flush();
    delay(100);
    abort();
}

This aborts correctly (i.e. this should not appear is not printed), but I do not get any of the assert informations as described in __assert.

• any idea how to / is it possible to get this to work already now?
• if not, is it something you can make possible? :) .

MBED_ASSERT() is available and will print the information you are looking for plus a bit of extra OS level information.
I looked into creating an assert() shell function for this, but it felt a bit like I was just creating unnecessary confusion since the MBED_ASSERT function is available.
I can't find much online about people using assert with arduino, and I don't think it is considered part of the standard API, so I think I will close this as is. Let me know if you think it deserves a re-open.
