Rusty Russell 7ef88ad561 BUILD_BUG_ON: make it handle more cases ... BUILD_BUG_ON used to use the optimizer to do code elimination or fail at link time; it was changed to first the size of a negative array (a nicer compile time error), then (in 8c87df457c) to a bitfield. This forced us to change some non-constant cases to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON(); as Jan points out in that commit, it didn't work as intended anyway. bitfields: needs a literal constant at parse time, and can't be put under "if (__builtin_constant_p(x))" for example. negative array: can handle anything, but if the compiler can't tell it's a constant, silently has no effect. link time: breaks link if the compiler can't determine the value, but the linker output is not usually as informative as a compiler error. If we use the negative-array-size method *and* the link time trick, we get the ability to use BUILD_BUG_ON() under __builtin_constant_p() branches, and maximal ability for the compiler to detect errors at build time. We also document it thoroughly. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com>		2011-01-24 14:45:10 +10:30
