Generally speaking, I think assert statements should normally not be
disabled at all, particularly not for release builds: if an assert
statement actually should fail, the program contains a very serious
logic error. Therefore it is not sensible to continue (and probably
crash shortly afterwards without printing a sensible error message).
OTOH, if continuation is possible or even sensible, it should not be an
assert statement but an if statement which then calls LOG(LOG_ERROR,...)
or LOG(LOG_WARNING,...).

I don't think this is a "WIN32" feature. Therefore I'm very reluctant to
add yet another #ifdef WIN32 block.

I fail to see why the compiler should emit a warning at all: the Ansi C
standard explicitly allows macro redefinition if (and only if) the two
definitions are identical (ignoring white space differences). Therefore
I suspect that the WIN32 build system does not define the macro NDEBUG
as the empty string.
