How to put assert into release builds in C/C++

Question

I need to only run ship build and I need to assert on certain condition in release build to see if the problem is fixed. How do I do it?

Answer 1

Undefine the NDEBUG macro - you can do this locally around the asserts you want to remain in the build:

#undef NDEBUG
#include    // reinclude the header to update the definition of assert()

or do whatever you need to do so your build process does not define the NDEBUG macro in the first place.
