I sympathize with the general idea, but I don't like dead codeafter abort(). What about cleaning that up?Good idea, but it should be a separate patch. This patch is "safe", whereas the cleanup patch could cause problems if it's not done carefully.
This patch is "safe", however I'd consider not changing assert(0)->abort() if there is code after the assert that looks like an attempt at recovering. Example:
if (!p) { printf ("the impossible has happened!"); assert (0); } return p->q; should be changed to abort, while if (!p) { printf ("the impossible has happened!"); assert (0); return 0; } return p->q; should not. Paolo
