assert(0)

[Fyodor Ustinov via Digitalmars-d]

Hi!

I carefully read the
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/assert_0_behavior_269336.html and still have question.

Well. assert(0) located in very-very dangerous place. If we 
suddenly got to this place - Program should die immediately, 
otherwise there will be something terrible.

But without "-release" this place less dangerous? Why without 
"-release" this assert behaves like any other (throw exception 
and we can cath it, for example)?

I think assert(0) should have the same behavior with "-release" 
and without. May be "HLT instruction", may be "throw exception", 
but _the same_.

WBR,
     Fyodor.
