No, we won't. The names p_3 and p_4 won't be inserted because
when we try to insert p_3, has_assert_expr will return 'true' for
p_1. If we had allowed p_3 and p_4 to be created, then yes we
would get to this situation.

Hmm, we have a similar problem here. Initially, has_assert_expr
was supposed to prevent this situation:
if (p_3 != 0)
*p_3 = ...
...
= *p_3
assertified into (before update_ssa):
1 if (p_3 != 0)
2 p_5 = ASSERT_EXPR <p_3, p_3 != 0>
3 *p_3 = ...
4 p_4 = ASSERT_EXPR <p_3, p_3 != 0>
5 ...
6 = *p_3
7 p_6 = ASSERT_EXPR <p_3, p_3 != 0>
As you noted, it actually doesn't. The additional
check I suggested will get rid of the assertions at line 7. But
it will not get rid of the test at line 4 because that is
actually the *first* assert that we insert. The edge assertion
happens after we insert the check at line 4.
Let me think about this a bit. This whole assert insertion
mechanism needs to be revamped.
