Haha, you're right, the assert is compiled out because of -release. But I disassembled the code, and didn't see the "auto x = 1/toInt()" either. Is the compiler optimizing that away? Also, is that even a good idea? Shouldn't we be throwing an exception here instead of trying to trigger integer division by zero (which may not even terminate the program, depending on the OS, etc.)? Not to mention, the failure of this line to stop the program causes the code to return to the division function, which never terminates because of the zero divisor.
