I'm i mistaken ?   I thought the assert function is used at runtime,
not at compiletime :

      assert() - verify program assertion
 SYNOPSIS
      #include <assert.h>
      void assert(int expression);
 DESCRIPTION
      This macro is useful for putting diagnostics into programs.  When it
      is executed, if expression is false (zero), assert() prints:

           Assertion failed: expression, file xyz, line nnn

      on the standard error output and aborts.  In the error message, xyz
is
      the name of the source file and nnn the source line number of the
      assert() statement.

Ciao,
