Personally I think that none of the -O* should be removing asserts. It feels like a foot gun to me. I’ve seen more than one codebase that would be completely broken under -O* because they used asserts without even knowing -O* existed.
Originally it was probably done so as to mimick C, where compiling in optimized mode will indeed disable any assert()s in the code.

Antoine.
