Subject: DEBUG: cli: add a "debug dev abort" debugging command
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52698abae98e1d210d326c431d6cf1ef56c9e57a;p=thirdparty%2Fhaproxy.git

DEBUG: cli: add a "debug dev abort" debugging command

We had "debug dev bug/check/warn" to test the various BUG_ON() macros
but we didn't have a way to test ABORT_NOW(). So let's introduce
"debug dev abort" for this.
