Mumble, maybe I don't understand your suggestion here.
The odd thing is that ENABLE_EXTRA_CHECKS is always defined.
If we move to the "standard" 1 or undefined your code like

   if (foo) ...

will get (defined to 1):

   if (1) ...

and compile, but will get (undefined):

   if (ENABLE_EXTRA_CHECKS) ...

and compiled will complain that ENABLE_EXTRA_CHECKS is an undefined id.
