I'm only thinking of doing something like this:
size_t asserter_string::size()
{
assert(...);
return string::size();
}
(besides from the fact that std::string::size() probably wouldn't need an
assert)
There would be no need to add additional member variables, so a lack of a
virtual destructor should not be a problem. A comment might be added to the
file to point this out.
