Static if and static asserts in C? Good joke.
No kidding:
#define STATIC_ASSERT(expr) typedef char __staticAssert[ (expr) ]
My point exactly *g* This one doesn't work. Arrays of 0 length are
valid... You could subtract 1, but then, "STATIC_ASSERT(1);
STATIC_ASSERT(2);" will fail anyway. Turns out one has to resort to a
different _trick_. Then one compiler doesn't like it and you end up
adding special cases.
There goes "a little more complex that the ways to do similar things in
C". Oh wait a sec, similar? I think he meant similar to the D stuff...
How much of the D compile-time checking can you do in C then? :D And try
a nice, formatted error message for the static assertion :P
