It is enough to check that both 'x' and 'y' are valid for either a signed compare or an unsigned compare. For unsigned they must be an unsigned type or a positive constant. For signed they must be signed after unsigned char/short are promoted. The predicate for _Static_assert() only needs to be a compile-time constant not a constant integeger expression. In particular the short-circuit evaluation of || && ?: can be used to avoid the non-constantness of (pointer_type)1 in is_signed_type(). The '+ 0' in '(x) + 0 > = 0' is there to convert 'bool' to 'int' and avoid a compiler warning because max() gets used for 'bool' in one place (a very expensive 'or'). (The code is optimised away by two earlier checks - but the compiler still bleats.)
