I just had several small tests. Here is a summary to the assertion related APIs we are using in our product.
Assert Function Comments
assert Just work in debug mode; standard C assert function
ASSERT Just work in debug mode; MFC assert function
System::Diagnostics::Debug::Assert Works both in debug mode and Release mode; Managed C++ assert function
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert Just work in debug mode; C# assert function
Please note above red line, ‘System::Diagnostics::Debug::Assert’ works both in debug and release mode, so if we have following code in managed C++:
System::Diagnostics::Debug::Assert(false, "something wrong");
We would always see the assertion window both in debug and release build. So, in managed C++, we’d better use following code to avoid assertion in Prod-build:
#ifdef DEBUG
System::Diagnostics::Debug::Assert(false, "something wrong");
#endif
