You are out of luck here. The best way is to define your own assert
macro.
Basically, it can look like this:
#ifndef NDEBUG # define ASSERT(condition, message) \ do { \ if (! (condition)) { \ std::cerr << "Assertion `" #condition "` failed in " << __FILE__ \ << " line " << __LINE__ << ": " << message << std::endl; \ std::terminate(); \ } \ } while (false) #else # define ASSERT(condition, message) do { } while (false) #endif
This will define the ASSERT
macro only if the no-debug macro NDEBUG
isn’t defined.
Then you’d use it like this:
ASSERT((0 < x) && (x < 10), "x was " << x);
Which is a bit simpler than your usage since you don’t need to stringify "x was "
and x
explicitly, this is done implicitly by the macro.
