Why "weird"? The alternative is something like #if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL > 0 bool result = #endif callSomeFooWhichSignalsSuccess( bar ); OSL_ENSURE( result, "this was expected to succeed!" ); I definately think that OSL_VERIFY( callSomeFooWhichSignalsSuccess( bar ) ); is the better (non-weird) alternative here. > And these case can probably easily be changed to something > with "assert" (or ensure). Please show me the easy (!) replacement of the above OSL_VERIFY :) Or did I completely misunderstand you and you only suggested to replace the occurences of OSL_VERIFY( a == b )? > And when we are on it, what are the differences / purposes between > - OSL_VERIFY > - OSL_ENSURE > - OSL_ASSERT > ? Couldn't we consolidate to just _one_ macro. E.g. OSL_ENSURE because > of the passed message? Oh, while we're at it, let me throw in one of my favourites: Shouldn't we consolidate the DBG_* and OSL_* diagnostics macros?
