is there a build config string, that will turn off all asserts into no-op?

[mw66]

Hi,

I use this library not just in unittest, but also as a replacement for the D built-in assert in the normal code. But I want to turn off these Asserts in release build, I'm wondering is there a build config string, that will turn off all asserts into no-op?

If currently there is none, can we add such build config?

Thanks.

Hmm... I think we can do this, but then you will have calls to empty functions, hoping that the compiler / optimiser will remove those calls, but I can not guarantee that will happen.

I've done some code like this:

version (ASSERT) {
public import fluent.asserts;
} else {
  pragma(msg, "NOTE: using dummy Assert!");
class Assert {
  public static void cmp(X, Y)(X x, Y y, string msg="") {}
  alias greaterThan = cmp;
  alias lessThan = cmp;
  alias equal = cmp;
  public static void approximately(X, Y, Z)(X x, Y y, Z=0) {}
}
}

Yes, this is what I was talking about. With this solution you will still have this function call in your code. It can be done. Are you using the last release v13.x.x or master?
