- The code below uses several ideas.
+ If _Static_assert works, verify (R) uses it directly. Similarly,
+ verify_true (R) works by packaging a _Static_assert inside a struct
+ that is an operand of sizeof.
+
+ The code below uses several ideas for C++ compilers, and for C
+ compilers that do not support _Static_assert:
* The first step is ((R) ? 1 : -1). Given an expression R, of
integral or boolean or floating-point type, this yields an
#define _GL_CONCAT0(x, y) x##y
#define _GL_CONCAT(x, y) _GL_CONCAT0 (x, y)
- extern struct {...} * _GL_CONCAT(dummy,__LINE__);
+ extern struct {...} * _GL_CONCAT (dummy, __LINE__);
But this has the problem that two invocations of verify from
within the same macro would collide, since the __LINE__ value
__COUNTER__ macro that can let us generate unique identifiers for
each dummy function, to suppress this warning.
- * This implementation exploits the fact that GCC does not warn about
- the last declaration mentioned above. If a future version of GCC
- introduces a warning for this, the problem could be worked around
- by using code specialized to GCC, just as __COUNTER__ is already
- being used if available.
-
- #if 4 <= __GNUC__
- # define verify(R) [another version to keep GCC happy]
- #endif
+ * This implementation exploits the fact that older versions of GCC,
+ which do not support _Static_assert, also do not warn about the
+ last declaration mentioned above.
* In C++, any struct definition inside sizeof is invalid.
Use a template type to work around the problem. */
