That will cause the macro argument to get evaluated twice if assert is
defined. This is bad news if it was an expression or function call.

You'd want to do something like this (written in my email client and
untested)

    #define verify_noerr(expression)
       \
       do
       \
       {
       \
           int evalOnce = (expression);
       \
           assert(evalOnce);
       \
           if (0 != evalOnce)
       \
           {
       \
                abort();
       \
           }
       \
       } while ( 0 )
