Subject: shared/options: add an assert loop to verify ordering
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4c640beba6faf717d7f145036af4fa5ba430e6a9;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

shared/options: add an assert loop to verify ordering

If things are misordered, we need to catch this. Use assert_se to make
the check also in custom builds that otherwise disable assertions.
