Now one more simplification is possible: A variable declaration does it just as nicely as a function declaration. Tested with gcc, Solaris cc, IRIX cc. *** lib/verify.h 23 Sep 2005 22:59:59 -0000 1.5 --- lib/verify.h 26 Sep 2005 12:30:01 -0000 *************** *** 35,41 **** /* Verify requirement R at compile-time, as a declaration. */ # define verify(R) \ ! extern int (* verify_function__ (void)) [sizeof (verify_type__ (R))] /* Verify requirement R at compile-time, as an expression.
