assert() in the <cassert> header is only disabled if you define the macro NDEBUG prior to including the <cassert> header file. See also these docs
With gcc/g++, the easiest way to do so is to define the NDEBUG macro on the command line when invoking the compiler like so:
g++ -DNDEBUG ... other args...
Arguments such as optimization flags and similar flags does not disable the assert.

From the man page:
If the macro NDEBUG was defined at the moment
assert.hwas last included, the macro assert() generates no code
