Subject: Don't use assert() to check the results of pthread_*() calls.
X-Git-Url: http://git.meshlink.io/?p=meshlink;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4b6c01b1d5383b1a7417244a31ad4652aab2d5db

Don't use assert() to check the results of pthread_*() calls.

This was done to debug the code, but it fails when MeshLink is compiled with
-DNDEBUG. Remove all assert()s from calls to pthread functions, and instead
add explicit checks to only those functions that can fail.
