As far as I know, that's correct.

We're currently limited to some string that can go inside "Assertion
'...' failed."

I also considered changing __glibcxx_assert_fail like so:

--- a/libstdc++-v3/src/c++11/debug.cc
+++ b/libstdc++-v3/src/c++11/debug.cc
@@ -55,6 +55,8 @@ namespace std
    if (file && function && condition)
      fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d: %s: Assertion '%s' failed.\n",
             file, line, function, condition);
+    else if (function)
+      fprintf(stderr, "%s called.\n", function);
    abort();
  }
}

And then making std::unreachable() call __glibcxx_assert_fail(0, 0,
"std::unreachable()", 0).
