What's the right way to check that assert has happened? #171

We defined our assert as:

#define FATMAP_ASSERT(x) { if (!(x)) { throw UnitTest::AssertException(std::string("Assert failed: (") + #x + ") at " + __FUNCTION__); } }

This allows us to use CHECK_ASSERT in the UnitTests.

But turns out that if you do FATMAP_ASSERT(false) anywhere outside of CHECK_ASSERT or CHECK statement, then it will fail silently even in Debug mode. It seems to be caused by this code:

Is this intentional? If so what's the right way of checking for asserts and still not allowing other asserts to fail?
