My worry with this kind of check is that it relies on some sort of undefined 
behavior in C and that at some point in the future GCC will just go decide the 
check can never fail.  I checked and GCC doesn't elide these checks now, so I 
might be wrong.

Is this defined to do what it looks like it's doing?
