Before I lived in assurance that asserts are actual only in debug mode and in release mode they are nothing (except `assert(0)`). But today my whole life is going sour because I stumbled upon assert in release mode and of course that assert is failing.

This doc https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#assert_expressions say nothing about debug mode vs release mode.

So the question is when and why assert expression is enabled in release mode (besides assert(0))

E.g. https://dlang.org/dmd-osx.html#switch-release

There are also other switches like -boundscheck and -check. It’s possible you have some library or project that is causing the behavior.

Thank you, Steve.
In my case I guess it was my mistake because now I returned to the problem to fix it and I can not reproduce that behavior locally.
