[PATCH 1/3] tests: Cast to void to suppress warnings about unused variables

[Rudi Heitbaum]

Werner, Very well know what an assert is if you are intending this comment to me.

In production we would not be using tests.
So perhaps as option could be added to disable-test builds to configure? Would this be acceptable? It would allow for clean, warning free compiles, which would have to be a good thing for security software?

Regards
Rudi

Anyone who defines NDEBUG does not known what s/he does. An assert is
there for a reason. It is plain stupid to use an assert but disable it
for production.
