Isn't this one a Win64 bug?

I think you could report this to mingw. GCC should handle "if (!0)
foo()" just fine if foo is noreturn, perhaps the "assertion failure"
runtime function is not noreturn in mingw.

Not as hard as this one, though.
Anyway, I would be okay a fix that makes the code easier to follow for
compilers (and doesn't have too much duplication so that humans are also
happy). But adding "= 0" is the worst, because smart compilers will not
detect a human's mistakes anymore.
