+/* Each of these macros verifies that its argument R is nonzero. To
+ be portable, R should be an integer constant expression. Unlike
+ assert (R), there is no run-time overhead.
+
+ If _Static_assert works, verify (R) uses it directly. Similarly,
+ _GL_VERIFY_TRUE 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
+ expression of integral type, whose value is later verified to be
+ constant and nonnegative.
+
+ * Next this expression W is wrapped in a type
+ struct _gl_verify_type {
+ unsigned int _gl_verify_error_if_negative: W;
+ }.
+ If W is negative, this yields a compile-time error. No compiler can
+ deal with a bit-field of negative size.
+
+ One might think that an array size check would have the same
+ effect, that is, that the type struct { unsigned int dummy[W]; }
+ would work as well. However, inside a function, some compilers
+ (such as C++ compilers and GNU C) allow local parameters and
+ variables inside array size expressions. With these compilers,
+ an array size check would not properly diagnose this misuse of
+ the verify macro:
+
+ void function (int n) { verify (n < 0); }
+
+ * For the verify macro, the struct _gl_verify_type will need to
+ somehow be embedded into a declaration. To be portable, this
+ declaration must declare an object, a constant, a function, or a
+ typedef name. If the declared entity uses the type directly,
+ such as in
+
+ struct dummy {...};
+ typedef struct {...} dummy;
+ extern struct {...} *dummy;
+ extern void dummy (struct {...} *);
+ extern struct {...} *dummy (void);
+
+ two uses of the verify macro would yield colliding declarations
+ if the entity names are not disambiguated. A workaround is to
+ attach the current line number to the entity name:
+
+ #define _GL_CONCAT0(x, y) x##y
+ #define _GL_CONCAT(x, y) _GL_CONCAT0 (x, y)
+ 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
+ would be the same for both invocations. (The GCC __COUNTER__
+ macro solves this problem, but is not portable.)
+
+ A solution is to use the sizeof operator. It yields a number,
+ getting rid of the identity of the type. Declarations like
+
+ extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
+ extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
+ extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
+
+ can be repeated.
+
+ * Should the implementation use a named struct or an unnamed struct?
+ Which of the following alternatives can be used?
+
+ extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
+ extern int dummy [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
+ extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
+ extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})]);
+ extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
+ extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
+
+ In the second and sixth case, the struct type is exported to the
+ outer scope; two such declarations therefore collide. GCC warns
+ about the first, third, and fourth cases. So the only remaining
+ possibility is the fifth case:
+
+ extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
+
+ * GCC warns about duplicate declarations of the dummy function if
+ -Wredundant_decls is used. GCC 4.3 and later have a builtin
+ __COUNTER__ macro that can let us generate unique identifiers for
+ each dummy function, to suppress this warning.
+
+ * 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. */
