      (std::cerr << "Assertion failed: (" << #condition << "), "\
      << "function " << __FUNCTION__\
      << ", file " << __FILE__\
      << ", line " << __LINE__ << "."\
      << std::endl << message << std::endl, abort(), 0) : 1
#endif

   int sum = 0;
   assert((sum = 1 + 1) == 3, "got sum of " << sum << ", but expected 3");

   foo();
}

Output is...

got sum of 2, but expected 3
zsh: abort      ./a.out

which is similar to what the std::assert macro outputs on my system just with the additional user defined message
