From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> Create a ASSERT() macro which is similar to assert(), but will not be compiled out when NDEBUG is defined, and is thus safe to use even if its argument has side-effects. We will use this new macro in a subsequent commit to convert a few existing assert() invocations to ASSERT(). In particular, we'll convert the handful of invocations which cannot be proven to be free of side effects with a simple compiler/linker hack.
