A version of assert.h which abort()s

I've never found assert(3X) very useful as a debugging tool, as
when an assertion fails, I'd like to get a core dump so I can
poke around with sdb or adb. This version calls abort() instead
of calling exit(1).
cat >assert.h <<'EOF'
#if NDEBUG
# define assert(expression) {}
#else ~NDEBUG
# define assert(expression) {if (!(expression)) {\
fprintf(stderr,"Assertion failed: file %s, line %d\n",\
__FILE__, __LINE__);\
abort();}}
#endif NDEBUG
'EOF'
