Re: [boost] BOOST_ASSERT and __assume on MSVC

I did not use NDEBUG because BOOST_ASSERT doesn't, and I didn't want to revisit that decision. I imagine the policy is to use fine-grained flags and then add:

#ifdef NDEBUG #define BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS #endif

in a user-editable header somewhere.

The default behavior of BOOST_ASSERT is to expand to 'assert'. This means that it obeys NDEBUG, as usual. BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS is for situations where the user needs to disable all BOOST_ASSERTs (no assertions from within Boost are desirable) but all plain 'assert's are to be left alone.
