I've only validated these asm statements on OS(DARWIN).  Are you sure they work for non-Darwin ports?

I am unsure how they would differ. Software breakpoint instructions are a detail of the ISA, not the OS. Right?

Yes, but inline asm statement syntax?

Oh, yeah, I have no idea. We seem to use the same macros in bmalloc (BAssert.h) and those are not specific to OS(DARWIN). Some of the 3rd-party libraries we use for WebRTC also use __asm__ volatile ("...") syntax. My understanding is that those build for GTK port as well.

In any case, this patch does not add new clients of these macros. If it is indeed broken with another compiler – something I can't verify myself – then the macros can be generalized in a later patch if it does not fail EWS.

Hmmm.  If we want to make WTFBreakpointTrap() an API for more general use, I question whether it's wise to allow it to fail silently like this if it's not defined.  Instead, how about defining it as:

#define WTFBreakpointTrap() WTFCrash() // Not implemented

If someone tries to use it, they will crash and the trail will lead to the "Not implemented" comment.
