This gets checked in debug builds, so I doubt it is very likely, but I can't imagine there's any great advantage to rely on asserts here.  It might make more sense to just crash if we fail to initialize.

I guess coverity is not aware of the inlining rules of IonMonkey and assume that the assertion can fail? This code is not performance critical, so checking this condition in release builds sounds fine to me.

The idea of this bug is to change the assertion[1] such as we also verify it during release builds.

You need to remove the ifdef DEBUG from here or it won't get set in regular builds.
Removed the #ifdef DEBUG condition.

That looks reasonable to me.  I'll ask Hannes for review because he is a JS JIT peer and has reviewed patches for this file before.

Looks good ;). I'm mostly nitpicking.

Style nit: there needs to be a space between the "if" and "("

MOZ_CRASH usually contains a reason for the crash as first parameter. Can you also add one?
