We need to enable developers to skip these areas and test their own code.
I wish that there was a magic knob to ignore build breakages, so that the
developers could test how their own code compiles :-)
There is, it's called updating to known good tinderbox build and basing
changes off of that.
On a serious note, why stop here? E.g. Solaris seems to have knob to ignore all
asserts (just to print a message, but not panic).
There is no reason why not to add such a thing, in fact it would be
really handy for some of our users who need asserts, but sometimes can't
clean up the entire code base.
Adding another option to tag asserts so that it was sort of like:
KASSERT((cond, section, "string")); would be interesting, then you could
turn KASSERTS on based on "vfs" or possibly file by file.
