Re: [Boost-users] [assert] Control Flow Warningswith BOOST_ASSERT(false)

Michiel Helvensteijn:

I would like to hear from the developer on this.

The reason I used a ?: operator is to make BOOST_ASSERT an expression. It's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for assert, and I think that assert expands an expression and not a statement. Maybe we ought to decorate assertion_failed with __attribute__((noreturn))? Or replace the call to assertion_failed with (assertion_failed(...), abort())?
