In case if (p) is not a constant I want the second part of the || to
kick-in.
The complete condition looks as follows:
_Static_assert((__builtin_constant_p((p)) ? (p) == NULL : 0) || \
sizeof(*(p)) == sizeof(long), "...error...")
The intent is to check that (p) is either NULL or a pointer to
something of size long. So, if (p) is not a constant the expression
would be equivalent to:
_Static_assert(0 || sizeof(*(p)) == sizeof(long), "...error...")
I just tried the following:
struct hashmap *name_map;
char x; // not a constant, wrong pointer size
...
hashmap__find(name_map, orig_name, &x);
And it fails with an error message as intended:
btf_dump.c:1548:2: error: static_assert failed due to
requirement '(__builtin_constant_p((&x)) ? (&x) == ((void *)0) : 0) ||
sizeof (*(&x)) == sizeof(long)' "&x pointee should be a long-sized
integer or a pointer"
hashmap__find(name_map, orig_name, &x);
./hashmap.h:170:35: note: expanded from macro 'hashmap__find'
hashmap_find((map), (long)(key), hashmap_cast_ptr(value))
./hashmap.h:126:2: note: expanded from macro 'hashmap_cast_ptr'
_Static_assert((__builtin_constant_p((p)) ? (p) == NULL : 0) ||
Awesome, thanks for clarifying!
