Building CMake-Projects with DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release,
will set -DNDEBUG and therefore disable asserts.

As C++ programmer, I can't understand how somebody would want to
have assert in his release-build.

"Therefore, this macro is designed to capture programming errors,
not user or run-time errors, since it is generally disabled after
a program exits its debugging phase."
