That's a library feature (not intended for release builds), not a language feature.

It is intended for release builds. The ReleaseSafe target will keep the checks. ReleaseFast and ReleaseSmall will remove the checks, but those aren't the recommended release modes for general software. Only for when performance or size are critical.

DebugAllocator essentially becomes a no-op wrapper when you use those targets.
