This reminded me to persist a little about it.
Not always the prettiest, but you can write:
if (!condition) assert(0);
The assert(0) will be replaced with a HLT instruction even in release mode.
This is better than nothing, but not enough to convince me to stop abusing
enforce(). I much prefer to have a real alwaysAssert() function that gives a
file, a line number and an error message.
if (!condition) { writeln("my message %s %s", __FILE__, __LINE__); assert(0); }
I am strongly opposed to using enforce() for bug detection.
