.error and .waring are not much work, because they are commands of the
assembler. But the assembler doesn't have the necessary information, so
changing .assert or using another command is necessary. Passing a list of
expressions together with a format string to the linker is more work. It has
to be generated by the assembler, stored in the object file, read by the
linker and stored somewhere in memory until it is used later. Since the number
of expressions is not limited, all this must be done with a list of
expressions with unknown size. After all it's probably half a day of work.
Currently (that is, while not more people are complaining:-) I do consider
this too much for a convenience thing. The information about every symbol is
available in the debug file, even if you don't export anything. Using grep or
a little perl magic, it should be easy to retrieve and process the data.
