It is certainly unacceptable in the long run to demand that if

One thing you can do is replace:
assert(i > 3);
with:
if (!(i > 3)) assert(0);
which won't be removed with -release, and the only bloat will
be a lovely HLT instruction.
Of course I could do that for _my_ code , but I am not every end
user, and even if I was doing the above is not a good use of my
time.
And this wouldn't be so bad if it were code that I or someone
else had written, but the fact that the compiler inserts it and I
didn't ask for it and, save from hacking the compiler, I can't
make it do otherwise.
