Ok. From the MSDN (Which is available for free perusal from msdn.microsoft.com):
--Begin M$ Technobabble-- The ANSI assert macro is typically used to identify logic errors during program development, by implementing the expression argument to evaluate to false only when the program is operating incorrectly. After debugging is complete, assertion checking can be turned off without modifying the source file by defining the identifier NDEBUG. NDEBUG can be defined with a /D command-line option or with a #define directive. If NDEBUG is defined with #define, the directive must appear before ASSERT.H is included. assert prints a diagnostic message when expression evaluates to false (0) and calls abort to terminate program execution. No action is taken if expression is true (nonzero). The diagnostic message includes the failed expression and the name of the source file and line number where the assertion failed. --snip-- The assert routine is available in both the release and debug versions of the C run-time libraries. Two other assertion macros, _ASSERT and _ASSERTE, are also available, but they only evaluate the expressiosn passed to them when the _DEBUG flag has been defined. --End M$ Technobabble-- I think the key here is that NDEBUG must be defined before the #include "assert.h" in order to disable assertions. I personally don't care which assert is used under Windows. I don't really have time to test the VC++ build right now either, however, please remember that while that whole discussion was going on the majority of the American continents were asleep. And it's the North Americans that _must_ use Microsoft products due to obsolete management and too much marketing hype. Joseph Who has become aware that the majority of traffic on these two lists happens when I'm asleep. > -----Original Message----- > From: Yasuo Ohgaki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 5:34 AM > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php-dev > Subject: [PHP-DEV] Re: [PHP-CVS] Re: cvs: php4 /main php.h > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > On Fri, 15 Mar 2002, Yasuo Ohgaki wrote: > > > > > >>According to Derick's post, VC defines NDEBUG somewhere else. > >>Following patch should fix "redfined" warnings. > > > > > > This doesn't seem like a good idea, VC++ might be using NDEBUG for very > > different reasons.
