Hi!
Probably intentionally assert.h shares its name with the system
header. But this leads to compile problems on Mac as the LinkBack.m
file is not C++ based (switching it to Objective-C++ is not trivial
because cmake does not know the .mm extension, if I remember right.
Tried it before...), but it includes headers from the OSX API which
include assert.h. As this leads to our assert.h we get a compile error
because "namespace" is not valid in C. No idea what the right solution
is. Here is one that works:
diff --git a/src/support/assert.h b/src/support/assert.h
