That's pretty much a no-go. g_assert_warning is marked G_GNUC_NORETURN.
If you return from such a function, there is no telling what incorrect assumption the following code was compiled with, i.e., things that the compiler thought were in registers all of a sudden are not. Crash. Burn. Toast. If you remove G_GNUC_NORETURN, you are going to get an unpleasant number of "might/is used uninitialized" warnings. And if you do return, you get the same problems with bad assumptions as above, only this time in the client program. All of this leads to the conclusion that g_asserts should be used sparingly, i.e., for things where the program is in a really bad shape and has no idea about how to limp on.
