I am curious as to why the assert() function is used.

Hello!

I am a student studying DDS. I have two questions while studying.

First, as far as I know, I don't compile the Assert() function through #defineNDEBUG before I deploy it in the release version, Within that DDS code, the Assert() function appears to be Compile.

Is there any particular reason why you didn't remove this function from the developer's point of view? Can you explain it in detail if there is a special reason??
If there's no specific reason, why didn't you remove it?

Second, when you deploy that DDS for commercial use, I wonder if you remove all of the Assert() functions and deploy them!
