Thanks for confirming.
Here is the workaround I use should anybody with the same issue needs a solution.

```
// Ruby 3+ bleeds NDEBUG
// see https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18777#change-97580
#ifdef NDEBUG
#include <ruby.h>
#else
#include <ruby.h>
#undef NDEBUG
#endif
// DO NOT MOVE. If assert.h is included before ruby.h asserts will turn to no-op.
#include <assert.h>
```

Bug #18777: NDEBUG macro defined after including ruby.h

Hello,

When using ruby 3+, including `ruby.h` results in the `NDEBUG` macro becoming defined, which deactivates assertions.
This simple (see attached `test.c` file) example illustrates this:
```C
#include <assert.h>
#include <ruby.h>

int main() {
  assert(0);
  return 0;
}
```
I expect:
```bash
gcc test.c
./a.out
```
To fail, and it does not. Commenting the `#include <ruby.h>` yields the expected result.

I found several discussion in the issues regarding `NDEBUG` in Ruby 3+, but none seem to describe this particular behavior. Sorry if I missed something.

Thanks.
