这是我自己的从我的代码库中提取的静态断言的实现:Pre-C++11 Static Assertions Without Boost。
用法:
STATIC_ASSERT(expression, message);
当静态断言测试失败时,会生成一条包含STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILED_AT_LINE_xxx_message 的编译器错误消息。
message 必须是有效的 C++ 标识符,例如 no_you_cant_have_a_pony,它将产生一个编译器错误,其中包含:
STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILED_AT_LINE_1337_no_you_cant_have_a_pony :)
#define CONCATENATE(arg1, arg2) CONCATENATE1(arg1, arg2)
#define CONCATENATE1(arg1, arg2) CONCATENATE2(arg1, arg2)
#define CONCATENATE2(arg1, arg2) arg1##arg2
/**
* Usage:
*
* <code>STATIC_ASSERT(expression, message)</code>
*
* When the static assertion test fails, a compiler error message that somehow
* contains the "STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILED_AT_LINE_xxx_message" is generated.
*
* /!\ message has to be a valid C++ identifier, that is to say it must not
* contain space characters, cannot start with a digit, etc.
*
* STATIC_ASSERT(true, this_message_will_never_be_displayed);
