These functions should print assertion violation messages and then
call abort(). They do really not return control flow afterwards.
Consider the declaration of the similar __assert_fail from glibc:
extern void __assert_fail (const char *__assertion,
const char *__file,
unsigned int __line,
const char *__function)
__THROW __attribute__ ((__noreturn__));
Bionic has __noreturn defined in sys/cdefs.h to be that GNU
noreturn attribute.
This patch has a practical value. Consider the following function:
void check(void* ptr) {
assert(ptr != NULL);
}
Without this patch applied, gcc (and presumably clang) shows even in
debug mode:
warning: unused parameter 'ptr' [-Wunused-parameter]
In release mode, NDEBUG is defined and assert() becomes a no-op, as
one should expect. Thus, the warning is shown correctly then.
Another code sample:
float array[2];
int i = 3;
...
assert(i < 2);
array[i] = 0;
gcc says,
warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
In other words, without noreturn attribute, assertions do not
allow a compiler's static analyzer to properly understand
the preconditions.

We're not going to have init(1) set LD_LIBRARY_PATH globally on 64-bit.
This patch makes it possible for libnativehelper to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in each Java VM (to support System.loadLibrary) without also hard-coding
the default search path there.

We don't need this on architectures other than aarch64, and
we're still investigating why we need it on aarch64, but it
doesn't seem unreasonable to have this flag set when linking
the dynamic linker anyway; it's clearly the intended behavior.

This patch adds trivial implementations of the missing sys headers
needed by strace. All strace needs are the constants and structures,
so this is enough for now. We can come back and add the functions
if/when we ever need them.

The situation here is a bit confusing. On 64-bit, rlimit and rlimit64 are
the same, and so getrlimit/getrlimit64, setrlimit/setrlimit64,
and prlimit/prlimit64 are all the same. On 32-bit, rlimit and rlimit64 are
different. 32-bit architectures other than MIPS go one step further by having
an even more limited getrlimit system call, so arm and x86 need to use
ugetrlimit instead of getrlimit. Worse, the 32-bit architectures don't have
64-bit getrlimit- and setrlimit-equivalent system calls, and you have to use
prlimit64 instead. There's no 32-bit prlimit system call, so there's no
easy implementation of that --- what should we do if the result of prlimit64
won't fit in a struct rlimit? Since 32-bit survived without prlimit/prlimit64
for this long, I'm not going to bother implementing prlimit for 32-bit.
We need the rlimit64 functions to be able to build strace 4.8 out of the box.

glibc has no <sys/dirent.h>. If we do have to bring this back, we
should probably just have one file #include the other.
