Comment on: Assert(): A Modern How To

Interesting article about a worthy topic, even though I disagree with some it. Side note: I expected to see mention of design by contract and function preconditions/invariants/postconditions.I don't think the article is well founded. Before you can discuss usage you need to establish the semantics for assert(). The author touches on this in the introduction but then leaves the details unexamined. In particular I'd need to know: can assertions be disabled (as with C/C++ NDEBUG)? does the project have a policy of leaving asserts in production builds? or are asserts only ever enabled for developm
