Re: [boost] BOOST_ASSERT_DECL to get rid of "unused variable" warnings

Looks good to me :-)

@Peter: You are listed as the author of assert.hpp, do you think this could be done? Or will this disable the compilers optimizer, so he can do away with the return value?

This doesn't seem to do what you want. BOOST_ASSERT( this_takes_time() ); // breaking change The introduction of BOOST_VERIFY with a similar implementation would probably be best. #if ENABLE_ASSERT #define BOOST_VERIFY(x) BOOST_ASSERT(x) #else #define BOOST_VERIFY(x) ((void)(x)) #endif
