Is it possible to write a static assert referring to the 'this' pointer? I do not have c++11 available, and BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT doesn't work.

struct blah
{
   void func() {BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(*this));}
};

Produces:

error C2355: 'this' : can only be referenced inside non-static member functions
error C2027: use of undefined type 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE'

In MSVC 2008.

Motivation:

#define CLASS_USES_SMALL_POOL() \
   void __small_pool_check()     {BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(*this) < SMALL_MALLOC_SIZE;} \
   void* operator new(size_t)    {return SmallMalloc();}                                  \
   void operator delete(void* p) {SmallFree(p);}
