[Datadraw-user] utAssert

[Richard P. <rdp...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with utAssert.  Easy to fix technically but there is
possible code break depending on solution chosen.

I was expecting utAssert to be inactive when DD_DEBUG is not set. Actually
it is not the case.  This behavior is contrary of what assert() is doing in
regard of NDEBUG.  I guess the *right* thing to do is disable utAssert when
DD_DEBUG is off.  You will find in my code a lot of:

if(utUnlikely(whatever && wrong && condition)) {
   utAssert(!"this should not happen but I won't crash");
   getBackOnMyFeet();
}

Although, some of you may prefer to keep utAssert active even when DD_DEBUG
is off.  If this is the case, we can, given a #define:
opt-in to utAssert by default, (which would be compatible with current
behavior) or
opt-out to utAssert by default.

What are your preferences? concerns? ideas?

Regards

Richard
