This isn’t POSIX, and isn’t supported by macOS’s sh, so breaks the
build there. Please fix or revert promptly.
echo "${asserts}"
is semantically the same for C. A stray newline doesn't matter in this
context. It's not worth the effort to remove it.
Sadly, echo -n doesn't work (it's not posix, and posix defines it
specifically as implementation defined). `echo "fred\c"' works on macos,
but not FreeBSD's shell echo built-in (but somehow does for /bin/echo).
macos doesn't implement -e at all (it's also not posix). FreeBSD's shell
echo build-in is not posix compliant. So, to be portable, just echo it, and
cope with the extra newline.
That's what I'd do :)
Why not just use printf(1) like in the preceeding line of code?
printf "%s" "${asserts}"
will avoid adding any extra newline characters to the output.
