The consistency checks in WebCore and WTF are for Debug code that is
useful for debugging, but too slow to be enabled by default in debug builds.
You just add #define FOOBAR_CONSISTENCY 1 when needed.
From a quick check at CHECK_CONSISTENCY, it looks like they were
disabled a long time ago
(https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14981). Maybe it is dead code
now...?
Cheers,
Benjamin
