The first version to support C99, I think.  That is irrelevant though,
because any version of gcc in C99 mode will have __func__, while any
version of gcc in strict C89 mode won't (or at least shouldn't).

The patch assumes that NULL is defined when assert is used in C89 mode.
That will probably be true, since it's pretty hard not to include any
header that defines NULL, but maybe it would be better to use 0 instead.
(I'm a bit paranoid about NULL versus 0, but in this case it may
actually be right to pass 0 as pointer argument.)
