Well. I wish to trigger the destructor, which runs right before the
Test...() method returns,
and the destructor asserts false... Inside the destructor, all there is the
conditional assert()...
Maybe that's the same you are saying...

thanks

He wants to perform check in destructor. Throwing an exception might cause
problem. Maybe in conjunction with uncaught_exception() it can be made to
work.
