I agree.  Nevertheless, these problems slip in, and often for code the
designer of the CMake-based build system is not responsible for.  Also, it
should be emphasised that the assert case is just a simple example of
possible side effects for debug code, and the general conclusion is you must
be on the look out for debug code with side effects when using the -DNDEBUG
compile option.
