H A D | bug.h | baf05aa9 Tue May 29 17:06:27 CDT 2012 Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> bug: introduce BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() macro
Sometimes we want to check some expressions correctness at compile time. "(void)(e);" or "if (e);" can be dangerous if the expression has side-effects, and gcc sometimes generates a lot of code, even if the expression has no effect.
This patch introduces macro BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() for such checks, it forces a compilation error if expression is invalid without any extra code.
[Cast to "long" required because sizeof does not work for bit-fields.]
