Sure:

#define GLOBAL_DEFAULT 0
#define APPROPRIATE_VALUE 1

#include <assert.h>

int global = GLOBAL_DEFAULT;

void foo(int, int);

int main(void)
{
   foo(global, APPROPRIATE_VALUE);
   return 0;
}

void foo(int i0, int i1)
{
   assert(i0 == value && i1 == 1);
}

A heck of a lot less obfuscated as well!
