The main issue this solves is that when the
assert()
from libc is called in a debugger, you end up several stack levels deep and have to hunt down where the crash actually occurred.It ends up looking like this.

This approach instead makes the compiler generate a trap instruction and crash immediately.
PS: You could also implement cool custom formatting for asserts, but I didn't put that in for the sake of keeping it simple.
