/**
 * Require that the given object is of the specified type.
 *
 * If the object is not of the required type then a diagnostic will be emitted.
 *
 * If you are reading this documentation due to hitting a compilation error
 * passing through the macro, then you have a type error in your code that must
 * be fixed. Despite the compiler output, the error is _not_ that some array
 * is negatively sized, the array is negatively sized _because_ you have a type
 * error.
 *
 * How this works:
 *
 * If the type of @p obj is not equivalent to the provided type @p type then
 * we force the compiler to evaluate sizeof on a negatively-sized array. The
 * C standard requires that the integer constant expression that specifies
 * the array length must be greater than zero. Failure to meet this constraint
 * generally terminates compilation of the translation unit as any other result
 * cannot be handled in a sensible way. The array size is derived to an integer
 * constant expression from a type eqivalence evaluated using _Generic()
 * allowing us to stay within the language standard. The default generic
 * association, representing a type mismatch, yields -1.
 *
 * pldm_require_obj_type() was introduced into the libpldm implementation to
 * enable use of the pldm_msgbuf_extract*() APIs for objects that may or may not
 * reside in a packed struct. See src/msgbuf.h for more details.
 *
 * @param obj The name of the object to evaluate
 * @param type The required type of @p obj
 *
 * @return The expression either yields 1, or compilation is terminated
