59 /* Each of these macros verifies that its argument R is nonzero.  To
60    be portable, R should be an integer constant expression.  Unlike
61    assert (R), there is no run-time overhead.
62 
63    If _Static_assert works, verify (R) uses it directly.  Similarly,
64    _GL_VERIFY_TRUE works by packaging a _Static_assert inside a struct
65    that is an operand of sizeof.
66 
67    The code below uses several ideas for C++ compilers, and for C
68    compilers that do not support _Static_assert:
69 
70    * The first step is ((R) ? 1 : -1).  Given an expression R, of
71      integral or boolean or floating-point type, this yields an
72      expression of integral type, whose value is later verified to be
73      constant and nonnegative.
74 
75    * Next this expression W is wrapped in a type
76      struct _gl_verify_type {
77        unsigned int _gl_verify_error_if_negative: W;
78      }.
79      If W is negative, this yields a compile-time error.  No compiler can
80      deal with a bit-field of negative size.
81 
82      One might think that an array size check would have the same
83      effect, that is, that the type struct { unsigned int dummy[W]; }
84      would work as well.  However, inside a function, some compilers
85      (such as C++ compilers and GNU C) allow local parameters and
86      variables inside array size expressions.  With these compilers,
87      an array size check would not properly diagnose this misuse of
88      the verify macro:
89 
90        void function (int n) { verify (n < 0); }
91 
92    * For the verify macro, the struct _gl_verify_type will need to
93      somehow be embedded into a declaration.  To be portable, this
94      declaration must declare an object, a constant, a function, or a
95      typedef name.  If the declared entity uses the type directly,
96      such as in
97 
98        struct dummy {...};
99        typedef struct {...} dummy;
100        extern struct {...} *dummy;
101        extern void dummy (struct {...} *);
102        extern struct {...} *dummy (void);
103 
104      two uses of the verify macro would yield colliding declarations
105      if the entity names are not disambiguated.  A workaround is to
106      attach the current line number to the entity name:
107 
108        #define _GL_CONCAT0(x, y) x##y
109        #define _GL_CONCAT(x, y) _GL_CONCAT0 (x, y)
110        extern struct {...} * _GL_CONCAT (dummy, __LINE__);
111 
112      But this has the problem that two invocations of verify from
113      within the same macro would collide, since the __LINE__ value
114      would be the same for both invocations.  (The GCC __COUNTER__
115      macro solves this problem, but is not portable.)
116 
117      A solution is to use the sizeof operator.  It yields a number,
118      getting rid of the identity of the type.  Declarations like
119 
120        extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
121        extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
122        extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
123 
124      can be repeated.
125 
126    * Should the implementation use a named struct or an unnamed struct?
127      Which of the following alternatives can be used?
128 
129        extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
130        extern int dummy [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
131        extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
132        extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})]);
133        extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
134        extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
135 
136      In the second and sixth case, the struct type is exported to the
137      outer scope; two such declarations therefore collide.  GCC warns
138      about the first, third, and fourth cases.  So the only remaining
139      possibility is the fifth case:
140 
141        extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
142 
143    * GCC warns about duplicate declarations of the dummy function if
144      -Wredundant-decls is used.  GCC 4.3 and later have a builtin
145      __COUNTER__ macro that can let us generate unique identifiers for
146      each dummy function, to suppress this warning.
147 
148    * This implementation exploits the fact that older versions of GCC,
149      which do not support _Static_assert, also do not warn about the
150      last declaration mentioned above.
151 
152    * GCC warns if -Wnested-externs is enabled and 'verify' is used
153      within a function body; but inside a function, you can always
154      arrange to use verify_expr instead.
155 
156    * In C++, any struct definition inside sizeof is invalid.
157      Use a template type to work around the problem.  */

282    'assume (R)' is a directive from the programmer telling the

289    that happens to be executed after the assume (R) is "executed".
290    For example, if the code mistakenly does 'assert (R); assume (R);'
291    the compiler is entitled to optimize away the 'assert (R)'.
292
