Use of assert()

[Joel Sherrill]

While reviewing test results, I noticed a few uses of regular assert().

There are 92 in cpukit/.
There are 70 in testsuites/
There are 371 in c/

Should at least the ones in cpukit/ be changed to RTEMS asserts before we branch?

[Joel Sherrill]

My gut feeling is that the set in the tests and the cpukit should be addressed real soon. The BSPs may need a review but I wouldn't hold a release if all were not changed. If we have some thought on how to fix it that can be addressed with a script, that might be workable though.

FWIW this looks like the set of tests using assert().

./fstests/fstime/test.c
./libtests/block09/init.c
./libtests/block10/init.c
./libtests/capture01/init.c
./libtests/exit01/init.c
./libtests/exit02/init.c
./libtests/flashdisk01/test-file-system.c
./smptests/smpfatal01/init.c
./smptests/smpfatal02/init.c
./smptests/smpfatal03/init.c
./smptests/smpfatal04/init.c
./smptests/smpfatal05/init.c
./smptests/smpfatal08/init.c
./sptests/spheapprot/init.c

So that shouldn't be too bad to correct if all can be safely changed to rtems_test_assert().

I am also not sure what rb_heap_assert() maps down to.

[Sebastian Huber]

The problem with rtems_test_assert() is that it ends up in exit() which is not a good idea in certain tests.

The assert() in c/ should get converted to bsp_fatal(). In cpukit to _Assert() or a fatal error with a unique (source, code). Maybe we should add a rtems_assert() (like assert() but controlled via RTEMS_DEBUG).

[jfjhh]

Fixes usage of assert(). Adds a new bsp_error_code block.
