    Avoid side effects in assert expressions
    
    asserts may be compiled out with -DNDEBUG, so it's wrong to use an
    assert expression with an important side effect.
    
    (We also have scores of side-effecting asserts in test programs, but
    those are less important and can be dealt with separately.)
    
    (back ported from commit 221cd4a23691601a14500bc00146c265b50bdc94)
    
    ticket: 7614 (new)
    version_fixed: 1.9.5
    status: resolved
