function

abort

[[noreturn]] void abort ( void ) noexcept;

Abort current process

Aborts the current process, producing an abnormal program termination.

The function raises the SIGABRT signal (as if raise(SIGABRT) was called). This, if uncaught, causes the program to terminate returning a platform-dependent unsuccessful termination error code to the host environment.

The program is terminated without destroying any object and without calling the functions passed to atexit or at_quick_exit.

Parameters

(none)

Return Value

none (the function never returns).

Example

/* abort example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main ()
{
  FILE * pFile;
  pFile= fopen ("myfile.txt","r");
  if (pFile == NULL) 
  {
    fputs ("error opening file\n",stderr);
    abort();
  }

  /* regular process here */

  fclose (pFile);
  return 0;
}
