/* Each of these macros verifies that its argument R is nonzero. To
54
be portable, R should be an integer constant expression. Unlike
55
assert (R), there is no run-time overhead.
56
57
If _Static_assert works, verify (R) uses it directly. Similarly,
58
_GL_VERIFY_TRUE works by packaging a _Static_assert inside a struct
59
that is an operand of sizeof.
60
61
The code below uses several ideas for C++ compilers, and for C
62
compilers that do not support _Static_assert:
63
64
* The first step is ((R) ? 1 : -1). Given an expression R, of
65
integral or boolean or floating-point type, this yields an
66
expression of integral type, whose value is later verified to be
67
constant and nonnegative.
68
69
* Next this expression W is wrapped in a type
70
struct _gl_verify_type {
71
unsigned int _gl_verify_error_if_negative: W;
72
}.
73
If W is negative, this yields a compile-time error. No compiler can
74
deal with a bit-field of negative size.
75
76
One might think that an array size check would have the same
77
effect, that is, that the type struct { unsigned int dummy[W]; }
78
would work as well. However, inside a function, some compilers
79
(such as C++ compilers and GNU C) allow local parameters and
80
variables inside array size expressions. With these compilers,
81
an array size check would not properly diagnose this misuse of
82
the verify macro:
83
84
void function (int n) { verify (n < 0); }
85
86
* For the verify macro, the struct _gl_verify_type will need to
87
somehow be embedded into a declaration. To be portable, this
88
declaration must declare an object, a constant, a function, or a
89
typedef name. If the declared entity uses the type directly,
90
such as in
91
92
struct dummy {...};
93
typedef struct {...} dummy;
94
extern struct {...} *dummy;
95
extern void dummy (struct {...} *);
96
extern struct {...} *dummy (void);
97
98
two uses of the verify macro would yield colliding declarations
99
if the entity names are not disambiguated. A workaround is to
100
attach the current line number to the entity name:
101
102
#define _GL_CONCAT0(x, y) x##y
103
#define _GL_CONCAT(x, y) _GL_CONCAT0 (x, y)
104
extern struct {...} * _GL_CONCAT (dummy, __LINE__);
105
106
But this has the problem that two invocations of verify from
107
within the same macro would collide, since the __LINE__ value
108
would be the same for both invocations. (The GCC __COUNTER__
109
macro solves this problem, but is not portable.)
110
111
A solution is to use the sizeof operator. It yields a number,
112
getting rid of the identity of the type. Declarations like
113
114
extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
115
extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
116
extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
117
118
can be repeated.
119
120
* Should the implementation use a named struct or an unnamed struct?
121
Which of the following alternatives can be used?
122
123
extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
124
extern int dummy [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
125
extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
126
extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})]);
127
extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
128
extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
129
130
In the second and sixth case, the struct type is exported to the
131
outer scope; two such declarations therefore collide. GCC warns
132
about the first, third, and fourth cases. So the only remaining
133
possibility is the fifth case:
134
135
extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
136
137
* GCC warns about duplicate declarations of the dummy function if
138
-Wredundant-decls is used. GCC 4.3 and later have a builtin
139
__COUNTER__ macro that can let us generate unique identifiers for
140
each dummy function, to suppress this warning.
141
142
* This implementation exploits the fact that older versions of GCC,
143
which do not support _Static_assert, also do not warn about the
144
last declaration mentioned above.
145
146
* GCC warns if -Wnested-externs is enabled and verify() is used
147
within a function body; but inside a function, you can always
148
arrange to use verify_expr() instead.
149
150
* In C++, any struct definition inside sizeof is invalid.
151
Use a template type to work around the problem. */
