[alsa-devel] snd_assert() removal

13 Aug 2008

Hi Takashi.
Just see the snd_assert() removal. Much better as far as I'm concerned 
but just as a remark -- there's many combined ones of the form:

diff --git a/sound/isa/cs423x/cs4236_lib.c b/sound/isa/cs423x/cs4236_lib.c
index 33e9cf1..6a85fdc 100644
--- a/sound/isa/cs423x/cs4236_lib.c
+++ b/sound/isa/cs423x/cs4236_lib.c
@@ -967,7 +967,8 @@ int snd_cs4236_mixer(struct snd_wss *chip)
         int err;
         struct snd_kcontrol_new *kcontrol;
-       snd_assert(chip != NULL && chip->card != NULL, return -EINVAL);
+       if (snd_BUG_ON(!chip || !chip->card))
+               return -EINVAL;
         card = chip->card;
         strcpy(card->mixername, snd_wss_chip_id(chip));
in there. Just thought I'd point that Andrew Morton has been pushing 
back on multiple conditions per regular BUG_ON()/WARN_ON() lately as 
they end up giving less useful information then split ones ("so what 
triggered?").
Just a remark as said but if you agree with him, maybe now is the best 
time to split them directly as well.
Rene.
