RFR: JDK-8077265 Modify assert to help debug JDK-8068448

[Eric Caspole]

I think it will be more refactoring than really seems worth it to me. 
The issue I encountered is that too many of these files have the code in 
the .hpp not using an .inline.hpp so there were problems with forward 
references and I didn't want to make a ton of changes just for asserts.
