package sc

void sc_error(va_dcl va_alist) should be called to terminate execution and to core dump when data structures are corrupted or when an undefined operation is requested (zero divide for instance). SC_ERROR should be called as:

SC_ERROR(function_name, format, expression-list)

where function_name is a string containing the name of the function calling SC_ERROR, and where format and expression-list are passed as arguments to vprintf. SC_ERROR terminates execution with abort.

print name of function causing error

print out remainder of message

create a core file for debug
