If a process detects a logic error, then that process is in an
invalid state that is unanticipated and unknown to the
developer. The only correct solution is to halt that process,
and all processes that share memory with it.
Anything less is based on faith and hope. If it is medical,
flight control, or banking software, I submit that operating on
faith and hope is not acceptable.
The release version of software is compiled in release mode,
asserts are removed and everything will continue to operate just
fine, thankfully.
