flac dev - Sep 2004 - FLAC/assert.h overwrites /usr/include/assert.h?

Let me pass this on to the dev group.  I haven't seen this
but I never install to /usr.  I would think that it should
still end up in /usr/include/FLAC/assert.h... maybe automake
is handling the file specially because of the name?

I always use --prefix, and it gets put in the right place
(<prefix>/include/FLAC/assert.h), which I'm sure sheds no new light on
this.

I'd still like to know why FLAC__ASSERT() is necessary.  K&R is very
clear that
the preprocessor is to remove calls to assert() if NDEBUG is defined.  (Some
compilers, including gcc, implicitly define NDEBUG when optimizing, but of
course it can also be explicitly defined, which is in fact done by default by
configure.in .)  So, does MSVC's assert.h just not have the appropriate
#ifdef NDEBUG ?  Or am I missing something?

With configure --prefix=/usr, everything ends up where it should.

/usr/include/FLAC/all.h
/usr/include/FLAC/assert.h
/usr/include/FLAC/file_decoder.h
/usr/include/FLAC/format.h
/usr/include/FLAC/metadata.h
/usr/include/FLAC/ordinals.h
