Issue ID: 24021
Summary: Issue a warning on assert with side effects
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: grimmaple95 at gmail.com
Consider this code:
```
bool fn(out int a)
{
a = 10;
return true;
}
void main()
{
int a;
assert(fn(a));
writeln(a);
}
```
This code will behave differently in Release and Debug builds. I suggest
issuing a warning for the user, when caling functions with side-effects inside
an assertion. I'm aware of 6074, and I'm not talking about changing how asserts
work, but it would be great to have a warning about this.
