I would like to have an mechanism that works like static_assert (condition evaluated by compiler at compiletime (using sizeof)) but that throws warnings only.
Is there some mechanism to achieve this in a compiler independent way?

2You can slap one on your own in just a few lines worth of C++17 http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/53573cfb9c31305b – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Dec 06 '18 at 09:46

@StoryTeller as far as i know, visual studio 2010 does not support the C++17 yet – vlad_tepesch Dec 06 '18 at 09:47

Does it even support `static_assert`? If you are using an out of date compiler you should tag with the **standard version** you need. – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Dec 06 '18 at 09:49

@vlad_tepesch *yet*? VS 2010 doesn't even do C++11. Are you not able to upgrade to VS 2017? – Asu Dec 06 '18 at 09:50

@Asu the 'yet' was just a joke, because i had put 2010 it in the tags before. But the linked answer helps. – vlad_tepesch Dec 06 '18 at 09:57
