[zeromq-dev] Compilation fails when NDEBUG is enabled.

Hello.

In recent git master tree there are 2 tests with issues that cause 
compilation errors if warnings are treated as errors and NDEBUG is 
defined during compilation.

First is in test_hwm.cpp, at line 54. Local rc variable shadows 
previously declared one, and asserts are no-op, so this rc variable 
becomes unused. Fix is easy, this line should look like:
     rc = zmq_send (sc, NULL, 0, ZMQ_DONTWAIT);

Second error is in test_monitor.cpp. Variable addr at line 33 is unused, 
as assert (memcmp (...)) turns into no-op and memcmp is never called. 
memcmp calls must be moved outside asserts in all cases. I'm also 
confused a bit by usage of memcmp, why does it compare 22 bytes, when 
length of addr is only 20? But probably I just don't understand something.

As a side note, I really think that NDEBUG _must_ be ignored for all 
test cases, so probably there should be some file that is included on 
top of all tests and contains something like:
     #if defined(NDEBUG)
     #  undef NDEBUG
     #endif
