54 /* Each of these macros verifies that its argument R is nonzero. To
55 be portable, R should be an integer constant expression. Unlike
56 assert (R), there is no run-time overhead.
57
58 If _Static_assert works, verify (R) uses it directly. Similarly,
59 _GL_VERIFY_TRUE works by packaging a _Static_assert inside a struct
60 that is an operand of sizeof.
61
62 The code below uses several ideas for C++ compilers, and for C
63 compilers that do not support _Static_assert:
64
65 * The first step is ((R) ? 1 : -1). Given an expression R, of
66 integral or boolean or floating-point type, this yields an
67 expression of integral type, whose value is later verified to be
68 constant and nonnegative.
69
70 * Next this expression W is wrapped in a type
71 struct _gl_verify_type {
72 unsigned int _gl_verify_error_if_negative: W;
73 }.
74 If W is negative, this yields a compile-time error. No compiler can
75 deal with a bit-field of negative size.
76
77 One might think that an array size check would have the same
78 effect, that is, that the type struct { unsigned int dummy[W]; }
79 would work as well. However, inside a function, some compilers
80 (such as C++ compilers and GNU C) allow local parameters and
81 variables inside array size expressions. With these compilers,
82 an array size check would not properly diagnose this misuse of
83 the verify macro:
84
85 void function (int n) { verify (n < 0); }
86
87 * For the verify macro, the struct _gl_verify_type will need to
88 somehow be embedded into a declaration. To be portable, this
89 declaration must declare an object, a constant, a function, or a
90 typedef name. If the declared entity uses the type directly,
91 such as in
92
93 struct dummy {...};
94 typedef struct {...} dummy;
95 extern struct {...} *dummy;
96 extern void dummy (struct {...} *);
97 extern struct {...} *dummy (void);
98
99 two uses of the verify macro would yield colliding declarations
100 if the entity names are not disambiguated. A workaround is to
101 attach the current line number to the entity name:
102
103 #define _GL_CONCAT0(x, y) x##y
104 #define _GL_CONCAT(x, y) _GL_CONCAT0 (x, y)
105 extern struct {...} * _GL_CONCAT (dummy, __LINE__);
106
107 But this has the problem that two invocations of verify from
108 within the same macro would collide, since the __LINE__ value
109 would be the same for both invocations. (The GCC __COUNTER__
110 macro solves this problem, but is not portable.)
111
112 A solution is to use the sizeof operator. It yields a number,
113 getting rid of the identity of the type. Declarations like
114
115 extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
116 extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
117 extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
118
119 can be repeated.
120
121 * Should the implementation use a named struct or an unnamed struct?
122 Which of the following alternatives can be used?
123
124 extern int dummy [sizeof (struct {...})];
125 extern int dummy [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
126 extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct {...})]);
127 extern void dummy (int [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})]);
128 extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
129 extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct _gl_verify_type {...})];
130
131 In the second and sixth case, the struct type is exported to the
132 outer scope; two such declarations therefore collide. GCC warns
133 about the first, third, and fourth cases. So the only remaining
134 possibility is the fifth case:
135
136 extern int (*dummy (void)) [sizeof (struct {...})];
137
138 * GCC warns about duplicate declarations of the dummy function if
139 -Wredundant-decls is used. GCC 4.3 and later have a builtin
140 __COUNTER__ macro that can let us generate unique identifiers for
141 each dummy function, to suppress this warning.
142
143 * This implementation exploits the fact that older versions of GCC,
144 which do not support _Static_assert, also do not warn about the
145 last declaration mentioned above.
146
147 * GCC warns if -Wnested-externs is enabled and 'verify' is used
148 within a function body; but inside a function, you can always
149 arrange to use verify_expr instead.
150
151 * In C++, any struct definition inside sizeof is invalid.
152 Use a template type to work around the problem. */

336 'assume (R)' is a directive from the programmer telling the
337 compiler that R is true so the compiler needn't generate code to
338 test R. This is why 'assume' is in verify.h: it's related to
339 static checking (in this case, static checking done by the
340 programmer), not dynamic checking.
341
342 'assume (R)' can affect compilation of all the code, not just code
343 that happens to be executed after the assume (R) is "executed".
344 For example, if the code mistakenly does 'assert (R); assume (R);'
345 the compiler is entitled to optimize away the 'assert (R)'.
346
347 Although assuming R can help a compiler generate better code or
348 diagnostics, performance can suffer if R uses hard-to-optimize
349 features such as function calls not inlined by the compiler.
