[geos-devel] Assertions in CoordinateArraySequence

[Charlie Savage]

CoordinateArraySequence has a number of assertions that check to see if the requested index is out of bounds of the array. If it is, then the assertion is thrown - at least in Debug mode.

Thanks,

Charlie

I'd guess assertions are off in Release builds (haven't checked), so a segmentation fault would occur. Could this be changed to exceptions? When playing around at the command line with Ruby or Python, its not very nice to have your application terminate because you specify an invalid index. The reason I can see for not doing this is the extra overhead in checking the bounds - is that the case? If so, are there profiling results showing that it really is a big deal?
