OK, but how about using an illegal instruction with free-standing environments and abort() with hosted ones? After all, the abort() way is documented in the GCC manual (under __builtin_trap) and IMHO, abort() would provide a better QoI for hosted environments. Now, concerning the warning "note: if this code is reached, the program will abort", could "with __builtin_trap" be added so that the user could look at the right place in the manual? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36484
