* Jonathan Wakely:
This patch adds the "debug mode lite" we've been talking about, by
changing __glibcxx_assert to be activated by _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS
instead of _GLIBCXX_DEBUG (and making the latter imply the former).
Interesting. Is this mode ABI-compatible with the default mode?
Yes, that's the main reason I want to make this change.
Should _FORTIFY_SOURCE imply _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS?
Yes, I think it should.
You can read my notes on these "debug mode lite" checks at
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LibstdcxxDebugMode (including "This should be
discussed with Glibc and security teams" and I specifically had you in
mind when I wrote that :-)
Your thoughts would be much appreciated, especially regarding
_FORTIFY_SOURCE and which kind of new checks you think would be
appropriate to add.
