The Walrus operator, poorly used, can caused the problem in the OP, and many, many others.

It does not make a difference - we discussed and got to the conclusion that the benefits

of having it surpass whatever bad uses people put it for.

It clearly does not make sense to try to modify the syntax to forbid

"walrus containing expressions inside assert statements", as even

the creation of a variable inside a conditional `if` block could

have the same effect you are describing, when the code is broken.

I should perhaps provide a link to the relevant discussion in the Lua
mailing list. For what it's worth, you'll only be looking at C.
