Details

Description: Inkscape crashes with snapping/powerpencil usage due to asserts going off. This is due to asserts failing.

I think the reason None is used is https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMake_package_guidelines#CMake_can_automatically_override_the_default_compiler_optimization_flag

It'd be good to use the Release build or at least -DNDEBUG
as Inkscape developers expect asserts to be ignored in releases.

Additional info:
* inkscape 1.0-2 (Inkscape 1.0 (4035a4fb49, 2020-05-01))
* Not relevant but examples of crashes: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/2418 https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/197 https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/194

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run Inkscape
2. Switch to pencil tool and enable pressure sensitivity (one of the buttons in the toolbar)
3. Draw, crash due to asserts.
