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. */ + +/* Concatenate two preprocessor tokens. */ +# define _GL_CONCAT(x, y) _GL_CONCAT0 (x, y) +# define _GL_CONCAT0(x, y) x##y + +/* _GL_COUNTER is an integer, preferably one that changes each time we + use it.
