Subject: [PATCH] malloc: Simplify implementation of __malloc_assert
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2022 12:34:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a6924uvf.fsf@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)

It is prudent not to run too much code after detecting heap
corruption, and __fxprintf is really complex.  The line number
and file name do not carry much information, so it is not included
in the error message.  (__libc_message only supports %s formatting.)
The function name and assertion should provide some context.

Tested on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.  Also emulated the
__libc_message call using GDB, and it produced the expected output.

Thanks,
Florian
