commit 8311c83f91a3127ccd2fe684e25bc60c5178d23b Author: Florian Weimer Date: Thu Feb 7 09:03:02 2019 +0100 array_length: Make usable as a constant expression Do not use a statement expression in array_length, so that array_length can be used at file scope and as a constant expression. Instead, put the _Static_assert into a struct (as a declaration), and nest this in the expression using a sizeof expression. diff --git a/include/array_length.h b/include/array_length.h index cb4a8b2a56bca3ad..ccb253c1dc1641cf 100644 --- a/include/array_length.h +++ b/include/array_length.h @@ -22,12 +22,12 @@ /* array_length (VAR) is the number of elements in the array VAR.
