Whenever I write a BOOST_ASSERT macro, I'm envious of C++0x static_assert because of its ability to supply a clear error message. I'd really like to be able to write a variant of BOOST_ASSERT like this:
#include<boost/assert.hpp> int main() { BOOST_EXTENDED_ASSERT(true, "This will not assert"); BOOST_EXTENDED_ASSERT(false, "This will assert"); return 0; }
And then get debug mode output like this:
***** Internal Program Error - Assertion Failed ***** extended_assert_test.cpp(6): error in int main(void): This will assert
Adding the code below at the end of<boost/assert.hpp> will do just that. It isn't totally ready for prime time, but it would be nice to find out if others would like something similar added to<boost/assert.hpp>.
Is there anything wrong with the idiom assert(true && "This will not assert"); In Christ, Steven Watanabe
