This is a good addition to assertions, but once we decide that we are improving assertions, there is much more that needs an improvement. Most of them are listed in the thread on Contract++ library (proposed for Boost) that you are already referring to. But let me list the potential improvements here.
Why don't we leave assertions alone? Anything you do to "improve" them makes them more tolerable which makes them something other than assertions. Assertions should print a message and exit. OK a smack to the head would also be an improvement but that's about as far as I'd go. :) Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
