While looking i have noticed that a lot of drivers define there private "assert" macro. It is very similar to warn. (e.g.) #define RTL819x_DEBUG #ifdef RTL819x_DEBUG #define assert(expr) \ if (!(expr)) { \ printk( "Assertion failed! %s,%s,%s,line=%d\n", \ #expr,__FILE__,__FUNCTION__,__LINE__); \ }
WARN is more complicated. At least with the right debugging options turned on, it dumps the stack, via warn_slowpath_common.
