> In a project that uses thrift I was looking at a core and found an assertion inside thrift triggered it.  This was rather strange being in a release build of thrift.
> To understand if assertions are active in release builds, I modified PlatformSocket.h and added this close to the top:
> {noformat}
> #ifdef NDEBUG
> #error "NDEBUG IS SET: ASSERTIONS ARE IGNORED"
> #else
> #error "NDEBUG IS NOT SET: ASSERTIONS ARE ACTIVE"
> #endif
> {noformat}
> Then I built the ubuntu dockerfile and started a debian package distribution build:
> {noformat}
> # docker build -t thrift build/docker/ubuntu
> # docker run -v $(pwd):/thrift/src -it thrift /bin/bash
> # dpkg-buildpackage -d -tc 2>&1 | grep NDEBUG
> ./src/thrift/transport/PlatformSocket.h:25:2: error: #error "NDEBUG IS NOT SET: ASSERTIONS ARE ACTIVE"
>  #error "NDEBUG IS NOT SET: ASSERTIONS ARE ACTIVE"
> {noformat}
> Assertions should not be active in release builds.
> Assertions really shouldn't be used; exceptions are much better for C++.  That's covered in THRIFT-3978 however.  To fix this issue, the autoconf system needs to set NDEBUG for release builds.
> I checked the cmake build environment and it does not suffer from this issue.
