asserts and manadatory build instructions (was ITS#8240)

But this is the first time I've heard about -DNDEBUG being mandatory when compiling binary packages for production use. Does it have other effects? And what are general rules for assert statements in OpenLDAP code? In my own (Python) code assert statements are supposed to be only triggered if something goes wrong *internally* (type issues etc.). If somebody manages to trigger an assert statement with invalid input from "outside" I always consider this to be a serious bug revealing insufficient error handling even though e.g. web2ldap just logs the exception but won't crash. YMMV, but please clarify. I also wonder whether there are more mandatory rules for building packages and where I can find them. Please don't get me wrong: My inquiry is in good faith to avoid unnecessary ITS based on misunderstanding. Ciao, Michael.

ITS#7770 and test056
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 03 May '19

In looking at test056, which specifically queries the BDB based attributes from back-monitor (olmBDBEntryCache olmBDBDNCache olmBDBIDLCache), shouldn't it be updated to do something similar for back-mdb's monitored attributes? olmMDBPagesMax olmMDBPagesUsed olmMDBPagesFree olmMDBReadersMax olmMDBReadersUsed olmDbDirectory --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>
