[PATCH] D124153: [CMake] Change default CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Release

[Markus Böck via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

zero9178 added a comment.

Are there any numbers as to how much slower an assertion build in Release mode is? I can see some benefits in having assertions turned on if no build type is specified:

- Assertion failures have nicer error messages in bug reports than segmentation faults caused by violated pre-conditions
- It could potentially catch miscompiles or similar that would otherwise go unnoticed

I definitely am against having it default to on when a user specified the build type to be release explicitly however.
