On 16 Dec 2013, nix <at> esperi.org.uk stated:

message:
  Use bool for boolean (GLYPH_DEBUG case).

  * xdisp.c (trace_redisplay_p) [GLYPH_DEBUG]:
  Use bool for boolean.
  * dispextern.h (IF_DEBUG): Properly parenthesize and convert to void.
  Args must now be expressions; all callers changed.

fixes it (and brings back the error message dropped by this change).

Don't forget that (listp nil) -> t... CHECK_LIST_CONS doesn't work like
that at all.
