You probably know this, but just in case. This preserves the ABI, but would make it an ODR violation to link code with
NDEBUG
and withoutNDEBUG
. The ODR rules require that all definitions of an inline function be identical:I am not sure how to quote the standard, but this draft:
https://isocpp.org/files/papers/N4860.pdf
"6.3 One-definition rule", paragraph 13.8
I am well aware that such violations of the ODR are mostly harmless.

Yes, it was already stated on the linked issue as a reason to not bother with the ABI problem.
However, as you also noted, all Unix compilers pretty much have to deal nicely with this as the practice of building in debug mode against non-debug dependencies is extremely widespread. So the compiler/linker will end up selecting one implementation over another; which one exactly doesn't really matter in practice (the only difference being the added debug checks).
Windows is different and there you pretty much have to match the build mode accross all dependencies for other reasons.
