Thanks, but static_assert is not an option. It would make things only more complicated and can not cover a lot of cases. I also don't really understand why there is something like a static_assert (I am not sure how much I really would use an assert outside of a function). If a compiler would be intelligent enough to check asserts at compile time if possible, to differ between static_assert and assert only makes it more complicated - mostly for the programmer. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39462
