The static_assert macro, which is part of <assert.h>, is a convenient object-like macro name that expands to the _Static_assert keyword.
Synopsis[edit]
#include <assert.h>
#define static_assert _Static_assert
Description[edit]
The static_assert object-like macro expands to the _Static_assert, a keyword added in C11 to provide compile-time assertion.
Example[edit]
#include <assert.h>
static_assert(sizeof(int) == 4, "Code relies on int being exactly 4 bytes");
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}
On a machine where sizeof (int) is not 4, a constraint violation occurs. On such implementations, a diagnostic message is printed similar to the one below:
example.c:3:1: error: static assertion failed "Code relies on int being exactly 4 bytes"
