From 37ae2d5998aa29d8bf52f124199a21341bc6d18d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaud Lacombe Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:05:53 -0500 Subject: kbuild: Fix compiler warning with assertion when calling 'fwrite' Reinhard Tartler discovered a corner case of calling xfwrite() where the length of the string is zero. Arnaud Lacombe suggested to use assertion for the corner case, as fwrite(3) is currently used: 1) in comment printers. Empty comment are not allowed. 2) in a callback passed to expr_print(), where the string printed is either NULL OR non-empty. 3) in the lexer, auto-generated, and unused. I feel using assertion is a good solution: 1) It cleanly takes care of the above-mentioned corner case. 2) It can be easily disabled by defining NDEBUG. 3) It asserts xfwrite() is simply a wrapper for fwrite().
