Yes, Stroustrup (C++'s creator) himself has similar critics towards assert in one of the last chapters of his book (http://www.research.att.com/~bs/3rd.html) about C++. He suggests a mechanism based on template that throw exceptions. Even if his proposal does not adress all your points, I think that it is nevertheless a good reading. If you don't have access to this book, I could make you a summary (of the templatised assert, not of the book ;-)). But this book is very usefull when coding with C++ anyway. With it, you'll know why things are how they are, it's a bit like having God telling you the ultimate reasons behind the whole strange reality! :-) Steph _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
