            Bug ID: 21753
           Summary: malloc: Document assert redefinition and allign with
                    <assert.h>
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.26
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: malloc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

malloc needs to redefine assert because glibc's assert implementation itself
calls asprintf (see bug 10217) which in turn calls malloc.  This should be
explained in a comment.  See bug 10560.

The definition of that assert macro should use the same statement expression
with an if statement as <assert.h>, to catch coding errors within malloc.
