On intel processors (x86) This interrupt is the &quot;debugger interrupt&quot;. &nbsp;Most debuggers (all probably) will &quot;hook in&quot; to this interrupt and when they detect it they will stop the running program. &nbsp;This if you have a debugger running, the program will stop and the debugger will come up when the int 3 is run. &nbsp;This can be very handy for debugging. &nbsp;because you can place these statements throughout your code at lots of error locations and you don't have to set (and keep updated breakpoints at these locations. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
if there is no debugger on the system, this interrupt will return without doing anything and the program will continue running.<br />

Let me know if you have questions.<br />

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
