If so, you probably want a with-asserts build for development so you get better failures when you use LLVM incorrectly. If you're just using Clang as a normal compiler - a build without assertions should be just fine. If you hit a crash in the compiler you can still file it, and we'll run in with an assertions-enabled build to investigate further, generally.</div><span><div></div></span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Just using clang (and clang tools) -- not using LLVM as a library.
