Create DebugDiag crash rule for your application, add breakpoint with the expression<\/p>\n

MSVCR90D!_wassert\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
to catch plain assert macro defined in cassert and<\/p>\n

to catch Microsoft debug CRT _ASSERT, _ASSERTE macros,<\/p>\n
MSVCR90D!_CrtDbgReportW\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
if you are compiling with unicode enabled.<\/p>\n
You can find out the needed expression by adding breakpoint for Ntdll!ZwTerminateProcess, pressing abort in assertion failure dialog and looking at stack trace in the generated log (c:\\Program Files\\DebugDiag\\Logs\\).<\/p>\n
To get rid of “Abort, Retry or Ignore” dialog call<\/p>\n
_CrtSetReportMode(_CRT_ASSERT, _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
somewhere at the application startup (see the detailed _CrtSetReportMode description on MSDN). Unfortunately this works for _ASSERT, _ASSERTE macros only, the _wassert function skips these _Crt mode settings and custom hooks completely.<\/p>\n

    MSVCR90D is the library name for CRT that comes with Visual Studio 2008 (for VS2010 it will be MSVCR100D).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    You should run the application directly (from Explorer or “Start Without Debugging” from Visual Studio) for DebugDiag to have a change to attach to it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
