...nsumers. I hadn’t considered AssertVH, and I agree that losing it isn’t an option. Would it be possible to redesign AssertVH to be non-ABI fragile across debug/release builds? I haven’t looked at it recently, but maybe it could be a pointer to a CallbackVH in the debug mode, or a PointerUnion<rawpointer, callbackvh> or something. > We also have quite a few places in LLVM today that conserve memory usage in non-assert builds by removing unnecessary members of classes. We can say that this makes the ABI more fragile, but it is a valuable space optimization. Chris, are you saying to strongly b...
