Tests succeed but with many assertions

Question

Tests succeed but with many assertions

Description

./test_main
===============================================================================
All tests passed (104141 assertions in 24 test cases)

Assertions are usually bad, but tests are still succeeding? This looks strange, no?

Version: 0.11.5
clang-14
FreeBSD 13.1

~~I am not sure what you mean? We include many asserts in the code for debugging purposes. But when we compile the libraries for the Python interface we use -DNDEBUG to disable them.~~

~~We leave them enabled for testing as well.~~

Scratch that, I believe this is just counting the number of Assertion Macros that succeeded in the test cases.

It looks like catch2 is printing this confusing message.

Thanks.
