Very nice! I've used C's macro pre-processor to do something like

My C is a bit rusty these days but isn't it safer to define the non assertion case as

#defind ASSERT(ex) /* ex */

i.e. at least generate an empty comment? Otherwise you get only whitespace and parsing of the source my change.

Kind regards
