Re: [Dev-C++] using assert

[<qa...@ho...>]

1) I have no idea if the 'assert' function only should be compiled in=
 debug-mode so I can't help you here.
2) When an assertion fails the program exits with an errorcode, this is the=
 normal behaviour and as a result your window gets closed.
The only way I know of to work around this is to start the program from a=
 dospromt, and not from within Dev-C++.
