I see this in scm.h:

/* The 0?: constructions makes sure that the code is never executed, and
   that there is no performance hit.  However, the alternative is
   compiled, and does generate a warning when used with the wrong
   pointer type.  We use a volatile pointer type to avoid warnings from
   clang.

   The Tru64 and ia64-hp-hpux11.23 compilers fail on `case (0?0=0:x)'
   statements, so for them type-checking is disabled.  */
# if defined __DECC || defined __HP_cc
#  define SCM_UNPACK(x) ((scm_t_bits) (x))
# else
#  define SCM_UNPACK(x) ((scm_t_bits) (0? (*(volatile SCM *)0=(x)): x))
# endif

Regards,
Dave
