FORUM:formatted assert error messages inside nogc functions
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/CANri+EyNyrhMWGCSqZHx_vXDJFSrwhOrV=J2kaTZ6t9-upTAtg mail.gmail.com

usage:

during development:
dmd -debug -ignore_nogc other_flags foo.d
during release:
dmd other_flags foo.d

 nogc
void test(int a){

version(ignore_nogc)
  assert(a==1, text("a = ", a));
else
  assert(a==1, "a = ?");

}

is there a valid reason that debug shouldn't just ignore nogc? this is also an issue with contracts iirc

just more fine-grained control ... but either way.
having an escape away from nogc would be needed.

Is it a bit annoying to use, but have you aware of: http://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#Bypassing- nogc ?
