We had a long discussion in D59911 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D59911> about
lldb_assert and what it means. The result was the //assert manifesto// on
lldb.llvm.org:
> Soft assertions. LLDB provides lldb_assert() as a soft alternative to cover
> the middle ground of situations that indicate a recoverable bug in LLDB. In a
> Debug configuration lldb_assert() behaves like assert(). In a Release
> configuration it will print a warning and encourage the user to file a bug
> report, similar to LLVM’s crash handler, and then return execution.
However, currently lldb_assert doesn't behave they way it's being described
there: it doesn't abort in a debug/assert build.
