It's not at all C specific. C# also has it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ttcc4x86(v=vs.80).aspx Java makes it a VM option (rather than a compiler option), but it's still a flag to the VM (-enableassertions): http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html Delphi also has assertions that can be disabled at compile time.
