Hi!
Please steer clear of using the assert API, and in so doing avoid BC concerns with the current assert API.
The operator can be called something other than "assert", I'm sure the thesaurus has a lot of possibilities.
How about "pre_assert" and "post_assert"? As Dbc is supposed to be about defining preconditions and postconditions the use of the word "pre" and "post" would seem appropriate. -- Tony Marston
