On reviewing [1] I wondered why there are so many asserts and wondered if these asserts could have been prevented by a better functionality around bug reporting in our code.
Introduce a BUG_ON macro, which is superior to assert() by * being always there, even when compiled with NDEBUG and * providind an additional human readable error message, like BUG() Opinions?
