[LispM-Hackers] error handling by abusing macro system

[John Morrison]

Hi;

(0) Oh, for a *real* macro system!

(1) Define a macro that causes the program to complain to stderr,
shoot itself in the head, and leave its corpse in a core file (hmm. A
CORpsE file?)

#define E3ThrowError(args) { cerr << "E3 THROW:" << args ; abort(); }

(2) Call the macro like so:

E3ThrowError("CALL_1_DEST_INDS::execute -- bad DTP target of call = "
             << (int)operand.getDataType()
             << endl);

(3) Replace later with something less, well, embarrassing.
