Excuse me for my jumping late into the thread, but what are the situations where one would want to use a BOOST_ASSERT with __assume instead of assert?
__assume on MSVC passes hints to the compiler for optimization, it assumes the expression is always true.
Yes, I actually knew that, but thought that assert on MSVC already does __assume. But it doesn't. Maybe it did once and they switched it back when developers complained, :-) or maybe I was just misremembering things.
