Ok, this is weird, because we have pg_unreachable() support for MSVC:
#if defined(HAVE__BUILTIN_UNREACHABLE) && !defined(USE_ASSERT_CHECKING)
#define pg_unreachable() __builtin_unreachable()
#elif defined(_MSC_VER) && !defined(USE_ASSERT_CHECKING)
#define pg_unreachable() __assume(0)
#else
#define pg_unreachable() abort()
#endif
Is there a way to reshuffle those conditionals to make this actually do
something useful on MSVC?
Are you compiling with assertions on in this case? Does anything change
about this if you don't use assertions (or vice versa)?
