Hi Shahab,

The patch LGTM with the nits below fixed.

Thanks for this, I _love_ it when people point to references that help
make sense of the code.

I might have mislead you in the past by telling you to use curly braces
in this situation before.  I recently learned that it's not necessary.
You can do:

  for (...)
    if (...)
      something ();

It's only needed for nested ifs:

  if (...)
    {
      if (...)
        something ();
    }

to avoid the problem of the dangling else.

You can use gdb_assert_not_reached exactly for this.
