Not always, as Simon explained already, the g_return_if_fail()/...
functions can be disabled, in which case the program continues its
execution and will usually crash.

See the --enable-debug configure option of GLib:
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-building.html

In the docs, if it is not mentioned whether NULL is accepted or not, it
means that it is not supported. Except when the documentation needs to
be fixed, of course, which can happen from time to time.
