What it does

If you assert before indexing, Rust will remove the bounds checks on the indexings.

An example: https://godbolt.org/z/fczP9YTbj (correctly optimizes at opt-level=1 and higher)

Example

let _ = x[0]; // bounds check here
let _ = x[1..4]; // bounds check here

Could be written as:

assert!(x.len() >= 10);

let _ = x[0]; // no bounds check here
let _ = x[1..4]; // or here
