Calling this a "hack" just shows your immaturity in the C language - not
everything that is new to you is badly done.
This use of assert is part of the C language that is well supported and in
very common use for a long time now, and does what it is suppsoed to do
very well and reliably. It's the only way to reliably achieve the effect
libev needs.
Putting error messages into a comment would completely defeat the purpose
of having runtime error messages in the first place, namely telling whats
wrong at *runtime*, when the comment is long gone.
If you are worried about runtime error messages, you can compile with
-DNDEBUG to get rid of them (and any warnings that might have been
enabled).
