Ok, took me a while, but I now figured out how to cause compilation to
fail even in expressions that initialize types (_Static_assert is not
allowed there):
#define assert_const(expr)
((void)(__builtin_types_compatible_p(int[(expr) ? 1 : -1], int[1])))
Btw., I like that more than our current assert_cc() fallback. But I
leave it up to you to decide.
Anyhow, I found a way to make CONST_MAX work:
#define CONST_MAX(_A, _B)
(__builtin_choose_expr(__builtin_constant_p(_A) &&
__builtin_constant_p(_B), ((_A) > (_B)) ? (_A) : (_B), (void)0))
This will return (void) in case _A or _B is not constant. Works fine
on LLVM, I now have to test it on gcc. If it works, I will commit it
and fix resolvd.
Cheers
David
