Add custom messages in assert?

Answer 1

BOOST_ASSERT_MSG(expre, msg)

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/libs/utility/assert.html

You could either use that directly or copy Boost's code. Also note Boost assert is header only, so you could just grab that single file if you didn't want to install all of Boost.
