I plan on using that myself. I think it would be useful for others, too.
i came to the same thing this solution works perfect with msvc80 and i feel like going to adopt it for my personal use
but i think you missed the order of macro directives if i get it right it should be
#ifdef NDEBUG #ifdef assert #undef assert #endif //swapped this and the following lines #define assert(cond) static_cast<void>(sizeof(cond? 0: 0)); #endif
and i agree that defining an "advanced" project-specific macro is really a better solution than redefinition of 'assert()'
Right, so I end up with #include <cassert> #ifndef NDEBUG #define my_assert(cond) assert(cond) #else #define assert(cond) static_cast<void>(sizeof(cond? 0: 0)); #endif I think I'll advocate this thing every once in a while :-) Today I stumbled across a warning in Spirit 2.1 (did not look at the current code) which could have been removed by using such an assert definition.
