The two aren't related. Assertions are for catching bugs in the code, exceptions are for managing legitimate errors when the program runs.

assert(expr);
if expr evaluates to true, then OK
else
if in debug mode - calls abort
else - does nothing but this is probably bad

one can use BOOST_VERIFY which is basically like assert, but works in release mode too
