If you add some sanity check to the code and you are 100% sure that failing this assert and recovering after it will not break Krita and the user will be able to continue his work, you can use "safe asserts". By default they don't show anything to the user, just dump a message to the terminal and take the recovery branch almost silently. If you want to make these assert produce real warning messages you should set a cmake option for it: cmake -DHIDE_SAFE_ASSERTS=OFF . This is highly recommended for developers, and not recommended for painters who do real work of those builds of Krita. Now rules when to use "safe" asserts. You can use them if the following conditions are met: 1) The condition in the assert shows that a real *bug* has happened. It is not just a warning. It is a bug that should be fixed. 2) The recovery branch will *workaround* the bug and the user will be able to continue his work *as if nothing has happened*. Again, please mark the assert "safe" if and only if you are 100% sure Krita will not crash in a minute after you faced that bug. The user is not notified about this bug, so he is not going to take any emergency steps like saving his work and restarting Krita! 3) If you think that Krita should be better restarted after this bug, please use a usual KIS_ASSRT_RECOVER.
