DebugBreak function (debugapi.h)
Causes a breakpoint exception to occur in the current process. This allows the calling thread to signal the debugger to handle the exception.
To cause a breakpoint exception in another process, use the DebugBreakProcess function.
Syntax
void DebugBreak();
Return value
None
Remarks
If the process is not being debugged, the function uses the search logic of a standard exception handler. In most cases, this causes the calling process to terminate because of an unhandled breakpoint exception.
Examples
For an example, see Using an Exception Handler.
