I recently upgraded the software on my macOS server and was dismayed to
see that cppcheck reported a huge number of format string errors due to
mismatches between the format string and its arguments from calls to
`assert()`. It turns out they are due to the macOS header using `%lu`
for the line number which is obviously wrong since it is using the C
preprocessor `__LINE__` symbol which evaluates to a signed int.
I also noticed that the macOS implementation writes to stdout, rather
than stderr. It also uses `printf()` which can be a problem on some
platforms if the stream is already in wide mode which is the normal case
for fish.
So implement our own `assert()` implementation. This also eliminates
double-negative warnings that we get from some of our calls to
`assert()` on some platforms by oclint.
Also reimplement the `DIE()` macro in terms of our internal
implementation.
Rewrite `assert(0 && msg)` statements to `DIE(msg)` for clarity and to
eliminate oclint warnings about constant expressions.
Fixes#3276, albeit not in the fashion I originally envisioned.
Now that the IWYU cleanup has been merged compile all, not just a couple, of
the builtin modules independent of builtin.cpp. That is, no longer `#include
builtin_NAME.cpp` in builtin.cpp. This is more consistent, more in line with
what developers expect, and is likely to reduce mistakes.
Reduces lint errors from 384 to 336 (-13%). Line count from 6307 to 4988 (-21%).
Another step in resolving issue #2902.
