From 0d43adcbef9a061c95db60eb351937c27e2a0609 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Rheinhardt Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2024 16:27:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] configure: Explicitly check for static_assert, _Static_assert C11 provides static assertions via _Static_assert and provides static_assert as a convenience define for this in assert.h. Our codebase uses the latter, as _Static_assert has actually already been deprecated in C23. Not all toolchains that declare support for C11 actually support it; e.g. MSVC 19.27 does not support _Static_assert, but somehow supports static_assert. MSVC 19.27 admits to be a "preview implementation of the ISO C11 standard", so this is not surprising (MSVC 19.28 does not come with this caveat). Furthermore some FATE boxes [1] use old GCC toolchains (with only experimental support for C11) where _Static_assert is supported, but assert.h does not provide the fallback define. They are broken since the first usage of static_assert. This commit therefore checks whether static_assert and _Static_assert work with assert.h included; if not, configure errors out. This intentionally drops support for MSVC 19.27. Users like the old FATE boxes above can still add -Dstatic_assert=_Static_assert to cflags as a workaround if desired.
