How can I completely disable calls to assert()?
Use #define NDEBUG
7.2 Diagnostics
1 The header defines the assert macro and refers to another macro,
NDEBUG
which is not defined by
<assert.h>
. If NDEBUG is defined as a macro name at the point in the source file where is included, the assert macro is defined simply as
#define assert(ignore) ((void)0)
The assert macro is redefined according to the current state of NDEBUG each time that
<assert.h>
is included.
