--- Comment #12 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- But it is 50 times inlined. Anyway, supposedly the aborts would be all merged then. Looking at current gcc_assert definition, we actually use there __builtin_unreachable (), at least when built with gcc 4.5+, and we only do -Werror and care about warnings when built with recent gcc anyway, so gcc_assert should be good enough.
