[PATCH 4/4] mini-os: remove sanity_check()
Posted by Juergen Gross 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Remove the sanity_check() function, as it is used nowhere.

Since any application linked with Mini-OS can't call sanity_check()
either (there is no EXPORT_SYMBOL for it), there is zero chance of
breaking any use case.

Don't we still want to keep it around, at least as formal documentation
of the expected status of the list?

Hmm, is it really worth the extra code?

There are 2 ASSERT()s I'm deleting: one testing the allocation bitmap
to match the comment further up:

/*
  * ALLOCATION BITMAP
  *  One bit per page of memory. Bit set => page is allocated.
  */

And the other one testing the linked lists being correct, which IMO
doesn't need any further documentation.

I have already seen such kind of piece of code getting very convenient
when tracking odd bugs.

What about putting it under CONFIG_TEST then?

This would keep it in the source and it would even be compile tested by
a simple "make testbuild", which is a simple test I'm always doing
before submitting a patch.

I went a little bit further by calling sanity_check() from periodic_thread()
in test.c once a second. This will make real use of the function.
