So, the big problem with doing this is that it will call the error message
to be incorrect.  If you're going to do this, you actually need to do:

#define checked_asprintf(...) ({                                        \
    char *_f = __func__; int _l = __LINE__;                             \
    if (asprintf( __VA_ARGS__ ) == -1) {                                \
        logMessage(CRITICAL, "%s: %d: %m", _f, _d);                     \
        abort();                                                        \
    }                                                                   \
  })

Or else the line number in the log file will be a line _after_ the
checked_asprintf() call.

This is why I don't like tricky macros.

Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely
mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the
road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
