[Bug middle-end/29862] New: Calling a function with gcc_assert

[hjl at lucon dot org]

This patch

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-10/msg01039.html

has

void
mpfr_from_real (mpfr_ptr m, const REAL_VALUE_TYPE *r)
{
  /* We use a string as an intermediate type.  */
  char buf[128];

  real_to_hexadecimal (buf, r, sizeof (buf), 0, 1);
  /* mpfr_set_str() parses hexadecimal floats from strings in the same
     format that GCC will output them.  Nothing extra is needed.  */
  gcc_assert (mpfr_set_str (m, buf, 16, GMP_RNDN) == 0);
}

It is a very bad idea since mpfr_set_str may only be called when runtime
check is enabled.
