I don't think so. It is not unlikely to why you use if's instead
of #ifdef's so that dead code is eliminated but still flags errors.
If you wanted no errors, you'd use a preprocessor condition (I'm assuming
that 0 is valuable at compilation time, and hence at preprocessing time,
maybe with some help from autoconf a la SIZEOF_LONG).
