Had forgotten about that.  :)

So, we have something like this:

        #ifndef _RWSTD_NO_VARIADIC_MACROS
        #  define RW_ASSERT(expr, ...) \
                  rw_assert (expr, 0, __LINE__, __VA_LIST__)
        #else
        struct __rw_assert {
            int operator()(int expr, const char* file, int line,
                           const char* fmt, ...) {
                va_list va;
                va_start (va, fmt);
                _rw_vdiag (diag_assert, 0 == expr, file, line, fmt, va);
                va_end (va);
                return success;
            }
        };
        #  define RW_ASSERT __rw_assert().operator()
        #endif

That pretty close?

And why is there a 2nd parameter in rw_assert() if its never used?  :P

Brad.
