That's a good question. I've emailed a few people to ask...
Is there a reason that ASSERT_DEBUG
( in share/mk/bsd.opts.mk ) is left enabled
( listed in __DEFAULT_YES_OPTIONS )?
That's documented as "Compile programs and libraries without the
assert(3) checks" which I'm inclined to say sounds dangerous since
assertions are often misused for security purposes.
