is indeed a constant.

Ah! Thanks, I didn't catch that subtle point. Would the attached patch to verify.h address that problem? This patch is for Gnulib, but would propagate into Emacs.

I tried this out with Emacs master and although it did change the machine code subtly I didn't have the patience to see whether the changes were likely to improve performance. The changes did grow the Emacs text segment from 2556193 to 2557657 bytes (a 0.06% growth), which is not a good sign. This was on Fedora 30 x86-64 with a default Emacs build.

I'll CC: this to bug-gnulib since it's a Gnulib issue. I have not installed this patch into Gnulib on savannah.
