Prissi,
yes, I'm aware of that, but, despite putting "NDEBUG" in "PreprocessorDefinitions=" in the .vcproj file, for some reason, ****erts still seem to be on. I'm currently combing the code for any ****erts with side effects.
Gauthier,
read the first post of the thread for a detailed explanation ;-) In essence, Simutrans-Experimental is a branch of Simutrans containing some revisions to gameplay and newer features not found in the trunk, either because they are too new (such as Isidoro's vehicle replacement tool), or because they change the gameplay significantly (such as a number of my economic changes; for example, having private cars compete with the player's p****enger transport depending on the year).
The idea of Simutrans-Experimental is ultimately as a testbed for the addition of greater economic depth and realism to Simutrans. If, after testing, it is decided not to add the features to the trunk because those who maintain the trunk prefer a different style of gameplay, the aim is to continue to produce this branch as a variant of Simutrans with different gameplay, to appeal to those who prefer economic accuracy. Have a look at the first post in the thread for a list of current and planned changes to get a flavour of the sorts of things that are different.
Edit: I have found why all the "****ert()"s were on: have a look at the following code in simdebug.h:
#ifndef simdebug_h
#define simdebug_h
// do not check ****ertions
//#define NDEBUG 1
// check ****ertions
#undef NDEBUG
//#define NDEBUG
#include <****ert.h>
Whatever the compile options, debug is set to be on in any event! I still do not understand, however, why the ****ert is failing in substance: an ****ertion failure means that something is wrong somewhere, even if the error should be suppressed in a release build. Can anyone cast any light on why the value of the data itself would be different in the debug than the release build? The code is:
slist_iterator_tpl<ware_t> iter (kill_queue);
while( iter.next() ) {
total_freight -= iter.get_current().menge;
bool ok = fracht.remove(iter.get_current());
****ert(ok);
}
