Oh yes, this one is perfectly fine with me. > you assert a condition rather than testing its negation. Good point. Yes, I too get confused when reading through a bunch of negated assertions like if (index < 0 || index >= count) return -1; > #ifdef NDEBUG > # error "disable assertions herein at your peril -- and if you disable > then nonetheless, then don't report bugs" > #endif Hehe, I guess I would attract some complaints if I was to publish such code ;-) Bruno
