:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

Invoke the currently installed assertion‐failure handler function with the specified expression `text`, `file` name, and `line` number as its arguments. The behavior is undefined if the macro `BSLS_ASSERT_ENABLE_NORETURN_FOR_INVOKE_HANDLER` is defined, and the currently installed assertion‐failure handler function returns to the caller (i.e., the assertion handler does _not_ `abort`, `exit`, `terminate`, `throw`, or hang). Note that this function is deprecated, as the (BSLS) "ASSERT" macros all now use the `bsls::AssertViolation` overload of `invokeHandler` instead.
