Isn't that an abuse of assert?

No. The behaviour is well defined.

Why do you need both types of checks in the same place?

To repeat what I said in my first post in this thread: Although I sympathise with the view that a failed assert should be considered undefined behaviour, I personally find the current documented behaviour quite useful. I sometimes use assert as a convenient way of saying, "issue a warning message, but only in debug builds." -- Dave Harris, Nottingham, UK.
