Is there a way to send C++ Runtime Library Assertion Failed messages to the Console instead of a dialog box?

Question

I'm working on a very small C++ console application using only VSCode and the command line. (I do not have access to the full Visual Studio on the machine I'm using.)

When an assertion occurs, I get a dialog like this:

Is there any way to make this debug information appear in the console, instead of the dialog box?

you can write your own assert that doesn't do that. but maybe you should not use assert at first place. — apple apple, Oct 05 '22 at 17:59

Add this to main()

_CrtSetReportMode( _CRT_ASSERT, _CRTDBG_MODE_FILE | _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG );
_CrtSetReportFile( _CRT_ASSERT, _CRTDBG_FILE_STDERR );

And take a look at the docs for CrtSetReportMode.
