🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

so this file is literally the Debug Functions in RTE, no cap. 🐛✨

what we've got here is a generic API for debug operations. and here's the tea: part of the implementation is architecture-specific, so like, some of her magic is different depending on where she's running. periodt.

📌 Definition in file rte_debug.h.

💅 Macro Definition Documentation 💅

🔥 #define rte_panic( ...)

Value:

rte_panic_(__func__, __VA_ARGS__, "dummy")

okay so listen. this macro exists to provide notification of a critical non-recoverable error and terminate execution abnormally. it is NOT subtle. it does not do gentle. it is the "we are SO done here" of macros. 😭💀

she'll display the format string and its expanded arguments — just like printf, printf-like behaviour, you know the vibe.

in a linux environment, this function dumps the stack and calls abort(), which results in a core dump if enabled. so yeah, she's dramatic, but it's productive drama. 👑

⚠️ bestie. The function never returns. like, ever. do not put code after it expecting to hang out. she leaves. permanently. 🚪💨

Parameters

• ... — the format string, followed by the variable list of arguments.

🌸 Function Documentation 🌸

🌟 void rte_dump_stack (void )

Dump the stack of the calling core to the standard error.

that's it. that's the whole thing. she takes your calling core's stack and just. yeets it to stderr. quiet, efficient, no notes. 🫶
