User(s) can reproduce this bug

When using static_assert, then even on failure of the condition, the compiler will not trigger a build error.

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2010

Attempt to compile attached code.

English

Windows 7

English

The compiler allows the build to succeed, even though the static assertion was failed. Intellisense will actually report the assertion as failed correctly, but the compiler will not.

The build will fail with the message given in the static assertion.
