[boost] Re: A better assert() This is it!!!

Allright, just for the record, this is where it stands at right now:

---------------------------------------------------------
//file: ensure.hpp
#ifndef ENSURE_HPP
#define ENSURE_HPP

#ifdef _DEBUG
# define ENSURE(x) do{if(!((x)))asm int 3;}while(0)
#else
# define ENSURE(x) (void)(0)
#endif

#endif
---------------------------------------------------------
//test ensure...
#include "ensure.hpp"
#include <cassert> //last-time included, ever

int main()
{
     int i = 2;
     ENSURE( i == 2 );
     //assert( i != 2 ); //un-comment to feel the pain
     ENSURE( i != 2 );
     return 0;
}
---------------------------------------------------------

I dare anyone to actually try it, and *then* tell me that it's no better 
than assert()...
