断言时的终止/重试/忽略功能是否仅Windows支持？Linux能否启用？

Recently, while digging into the assert() function, I stumbled upon a really useful quirk with how Windows handles assertion failures. Unlike Linux, which just terminates the application outright when an assert triggers, Windows pops up a dialog that gives users actionable choices.

This becomes incredibly practical in specific scenarios, like when your app detects an unsupported platform configuration that puts it in an untested, undocumented state. More often than not, these configurations will actually work fine—they just haven’t been added to the whitelist after proper testing yet. Instead of forcing a hard crash, the Windows dialog lets users decide whether to proceed with running the app anyway.

It’s a small but impactful difference between the two systems. Linux’s approach is strict and consistent, but Windows’ dialog adds a layer of flexibility that can save users (and developers) frustration when dealing with edge-case setups that aren’t officially supported but still functional.
