In that case I will write my own assert() that doesn't have this
behaviour. Nobody who cares about program verification and correctness
will touch this.
Yes.
assert() is no guarantee for correctness, it is basically a break-point
check. A sloppy request from the programmer to check some constraint that
possibly could be overspecified, and that could silently pass. The the
optimizer might assume that "length<1024" etc and create all kinds of
problems.
Yes, writing code wrong can result in the wrong thing happening. A
non-release build will always retain the asserts.
Assert() are useful debugging tools, but not a codegen feature. A good
debugger could allow you to turn them on/off or let you continue after
hitting one. That's useful.
If this is what you want you shouldn't be using assert. This is not what
assert means in D.
