Oddbean new post about login | logout @986ebc02 i think because an assertion error will cause death and a stack trace in debug rigs, whereas return won't. (although in a release build it won't early return, so :blobcatwaitwhat:)
@@986ebc02 usually there is assert( 0 ); return; in these cases. So it returns in release builds and asserts in debug builds. But I would rather not use assert at all. Different program behavior in debug and release builds is evil.
@0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba @986ebc02 its usually game devs who are stuck with the cursed RelWithDebugInfo build :neocat_nervous:
@0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba @there are many cases without return in mesa. And it's code paths that will hang gpu
