NAMEstatic_assert, _Static_assert − fail compilation if assertion is false
LIBRARYStandard C library (libc)
SYNOPSIS#include <assert.h>void static_assert(scalar constant-expression, const char *msg);/* Since C23: */
void static_assert(scalar constant-expression);
DESCRIPTIONThis macro is similar to assert(3), but it works at compile time, generating a compilation error (with an optional message) when the input is false (i.e., compares equal to zero). If the input is nonzero, no code is emitted. msg must be a string literal. Since C23, this argument is optional. There's a keyword, _Static_assert(), that behaves identically, and can be used without including <assert.h>.
RETURN VALUENo value is returned.
VERSIONSIn C11, the second argument (msg) was mandatory; since C23, it can be omitted.
STANDARDSC11 and later.
EXAMPLESstatic_assert() can't be used in some places, like for example at global scope. For that, a macro must_be() can be written in terms of static_assert(). The following program uses the macro to get the size of an array safely. #include <assert.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
/*
* This macro behaves like static_assert(), failing to
* compile if its argument is not true. However, it always
* returns 0, which allows using it everywhere an expression
* can be used.
