Hey all. Just reading and I'm surprised that Subversion uses assert()
in production code. I don't think this is typical practice.
You should read my rant about that in this thread. :)
Assertions should never call abort.
You should tell that to the designers of the C runtime library. :)
You mean the GNU runtime library,
No, I mean the C runtime library. Read a C textbook if you don't believe
me. assert() is required to call abort() if the condition is false.
I believe you, you obviously know it better than me.
Just my point is still;
abort() may be fine for command line tools,
but is silly for libraries or GUI applications.
Today's software industry has evolved beyond the seventies. ;-)
