commit 602c52cad486516defc9d5ed375effd74cfe4529 Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@torproject.org> Date: Fri Jul 28 10:02:38 2017 -0400 Coverity deadcode shenanigans on BUG() macro. We don't actually want Coverity to complain when a BUG() check can never fail, since such checks can prevent us from introducing bugs later on. Closes ticket 23054.
