I would replace assert(3) with abort(3). If this ever happens the
program is broken - returning 0 instead of an undefined value doesn't
help.

Alex, do you agree on replacing assert() by abort()?

I personally don't like abort() because it does not show the
reason for the failure.

Most users don't know how to get a core dump or how to
use gdb. And even for those who know, a crash caused
by an abort() which cannot be reproduced usually happens
on a system were ulimit disables core dumps...

I'd like to have a qemu_abort() macro in qemu-common.h which
replaces all abort() calls used today:

#define qemu_abort() \
  do { \
fprintf(stderr, "QEMU aborted in %s, %s:%u\n", __func__, __FILE__, __LINE__);
    abort();
  } while (0)

(The macro could also call a function which handles fprintf and abort).

Cheers,
Stefan W.
