[Gaim-devel] Assertions

[Nathan C. <co...@bu...>]

I've noticed that in a lot of places in gaim, there are comments like
'this should never happen', and such. I am wondering why the
g_assert(...)  function is not used in gaim. It would alert people
that these unreachable cases are being reached. IMHO, an assertion is
better than just letting the functions return without flagging an
error.

(I noticed that the following change was commited to dialogs.c today:
+               if (!who || !*who) {
+                       /* this shouldn't ever happen */
                        return;
                }
)
