basic: nicer assert messages
Make sure the assert expression is not macro-expanded before
stringification. This makes several assertion failure messages more
readable.
As an example:
assert(streq("foo", "bar"));
I'd rather see this:
Assertion 'streq("foo", "bar")' failed at foo.c:5, function main(). Aborting.
...than this, though awesome, incomprehensible truncated mess:
Assertion '(__extension__ ({ size_t __s1_len, __s2_len; (__builtin_constant_p ((
"foo")) && __builtin_constant_p (("bar")) && (__s1_len = strlen (("foo")), __s2_
len = strlen (("bar")), (!((size_t)(const void *)((("foo")) + 1) - (size_t)(cons
t void *)(("foo")) == 1) || __s1_len >= 4) && (!((size_t)(const void *)((("bar")
) + 1) - (size_t)(const void *)(("bar")) == 1) || __s2_len >= 4)) ? __builtin_st
rcmp (("foo"), ("bar")) : (__builtin_constant_p (("foo")) && ((size_t)(const voi
d *)((("foo")) + 1) - (size_t)(const void *)(("foo")) == 1) && (__s1_len = strle
