Use __builtin_trap() for abort() if inhibit_libc
abort() is used in gcc_assert() and gcc_unreachable() which is used by target libraries such as libgcov.a. This patch changes the abort() definition under certain conditions. If inhibit_libc is defined and abort is not already defined, then abort() is defined to __builtin_trap(). The inhibit_libc define is usually defined if GCC is built for targets running in embedded systems which may optionally use a C standard library. If inhibit_libc is defined, then there may be still a full featured abort() available. abort() is a heavy weight function which depends on signals and file streams. For statically linked applications, this means that a dependency on gcc_assert() pulls in the support for signals and file streams. This could prevent using gcov to test low end targets for example. Using __builtin_trap() avoids these dependencies if the target implements a "trap" instruction. The application or operating system could use a trap handler to react to failed GCC runtime checks which caused a trap. gcc/ * tsystem.h (abort): Define abort() if inhibit_libc is defined and it is not already defined.
