debugging - Breaking into the debugger on iPhone

Question

For assert macros in my iPhone project, I'm looking for a way to programmatically break into the debugger. On Windows (MSVC++), I can use __debugbreak() for this purpose. Invoking this function will stop my program, launch the debugger, and display a callstack of the line that called __debugbreak().

Is there anything similar to __debugbreak() for the iPhone? I've tried Debugger(), but that gives me a linker error.

Thanks, Claus

Turns out this also works:

#define Debugger() { raise( SIGINT ) ; }

I think it's the same principle.

I use this:

#define Debugger() { kill( getpid(), SIGINT ) ; }

I think it works in the simulator and on the device.. no assembly required!
