C Specification

#include <nitro/os.h>

Arguments

fmt Character string output format (character string format)
... Variable number of arguments

Return Values

None.

Description

This function outputs a character string.

A variable number of arguments can be given using the format character string fmt.

The output format is:

<filename>:<linenumber> Panic: <string>

<filename> <linenumber> are the file name and line number describing this OS_Halt() function. <string> is created from fmt and the variable number of arguments.

This function is used for debugging, so the final ROM version (FINALROM) will only stop the program (just like OS_Terminate() ).

Internal Operation

OS_Panic() is actually a #define of OSi_Panic(). OSi_Panic() is compiled with weak symbols. Therefore you can overwrite them with your own function definitions.
