I don't agree. Globally turning asserts into throws at the flip of a switch is never the Right Thing(tm) to do. To handle this transition, the code needs to be designed with it in mind. Otherwise the approach is, at best, a hack: throw an exception and hope for the best. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
