Gcc 7 (on Fedora 26) spotted odd use of integers instead of a
boolean; it's got a point.

How is the test passing pre-patch, and why does it not change the test
post-patch?  Does that mean that overwrite is not doing what we expected?

Pre-patch it passes because either 84 or 42  are valid 'true' values into g_assert.
Post patch it ends up as either:
    qdict_get_int(dict1, "foo") == 42
or
    qdict_get_int(dict1, "foo") == 84

which is what's intended.

Replying to myself:

Pre-patch, it was reached twice (once for overwrite=false, once for
overwrite=true), as:

(42 == false) ? 84 : 42
(84 == true) ? 84 : 42

which simplifies to 42 on both iterations, and g_assert(42) succeeds.
In fact, this is a tautology - no matter WHAT value we encounter, the
assert succeeds, so we are not actually testing that the value matters.

Post-patch, it becomes:

42 == (false ? 84 : 42)
84 == (true ? 84 : 42)

which is then asserting that we actually have the value we expect.

Safe for 2.9, but late enough that it also doesn't matter if it slips
until 2.10.

another case which demonstrate human _optimized_ C is more bug prone 
than verbose basic code...

Most cpp generates the same asm code with the following C:

if (overwrite) {
     g_assert(qdict_get_int(dict1, "foo") == 84);
} else {
     g_assert(qdict_get_int(dict1, "foo") == 42);
}
