static void	check (const FeatureMap &map)

Detailed Description

Checks that every feature of a map has a valid unique id that no other feature of the map shares.

The intended contract is that every Feature and ConsensusFeature in a map has a valid (non-zero) unique id that is unique within the map, subordinates included. Not every producer establishes it yet, and file writers do not enforce it; producers that do (e.g. FeatureFinderAlgorithmPicked, SeedListGenerator) verify their output with check() in their class tests. Feature handles are not checked.
