This leaves the assert code in place but disables it. No need to build a special version of wxWidgets. But I have to ask. You have just done rather large changes to Manager, began using a (sort of) brand new version of a framework and I understand you are planning something big with notices. With all these changes you have likely introduced a few bugs too. (Well this conversation started as bug report.) So, why wouldn't you want to have asserts enabled? I mean, we are alpha testing BOINC here and what better way is there to get bug reports than to pop an error message right in front of the tester? Disabling asserts just hides those bugs. I don't understand how that would help. Just in case you were curious why the asserts are included in release build of the library here's a blog post that explains it: http://wxwidgets.blogspot.com/2009/09/debug-build-changes-in-wx3.html FWIW. GLib (and GTK+ and pretty much everything Gnome) takes middle ground between no checks and fatal asserts. If an application hits a logic error a message like this is printed to stderr: (cinnamon:2069): Clutter-CRITICAL **: clutter_actor_queue_relayout: assertion `CLUTTER_IS_ACTOR (self)' failed The application then continues to limp along or crashes right on the spot. You could set up Manager to do something similar.
