BOOST_ASSERT wasn't supposed to be an improvement over assert, interface-wise. In my opinion, invalid assertions should be fixed; we should not alter BOOST_ASSERT to make them work.

I agree. The point, anyhow, was avoiding those invalid assertions. What I proposed above make them silently work as the user expects without invoking undefined behavior. The alternative is *catching* the error. If we can do the latter then it's even better to me. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ] [ resume: available on request ]
