ASSERT or variant returning result of the expression (not just left-hand operand)

[NyanSten]

Hi,

One thing that I currently use pretty often (especially for networking code) is:

if (!AssertTrue(a > 3)) {
    // Handle the failed assertion in release
    return;
}

This allows crashing in debug builds during testing but handling it without crashing for users in release builds.

It looks very similar to:

if (!ASSERT_VAL(a > 3))

but ASSERT_VAL returns the value of a, not the result of the whole expression a > 3.

Obviously it's possible to do

if (ASSERT_VAL(a > 3) <= 3)

but that makes it complicated and error-prone.

Would it be possible to return the result of the whole expression from ASSERT, or to create a variant of the macro (e.g. ASSERT_THAT) that returns the result?
