In Borland C++ ver 4, some assertions are offered (only PRECONDITIONs in fact).
Is this standard C++ ?
Where is it defined (books or periodicals) ?
Does anybody know if Stroustrup will soon release a new version of his reference
manual ? (I think lots of stuff is missing from the last one)
Thank you for any info.

This is a language-independant technique, although the Eiffel language
does support such assertions explicitly.  See "Object-Oriented
Software Construction" by Bertrand Meyer for a good explanation of the
technique.
