Sorry for being unclear --- I just meant that we could use do{} in StaticAssertStmt for both C and C++. Although now I notice that the code is trying to use StaticAssertStmt for StaticAssertExpr, which you're right isn't going to do. But I think something like this would work and be a bit simpler than what you proposed: #else /* Fallback implementation for C and C++ */ #define StaticAssertStmt(condition, errmessage) \ - ((void) sizeof(struct { int static_assert_failure : (condition) ? 1 : -1; })) + do { struct static_assert_struct { int static_assert_failure : (condition) ? 1 : -1; }; } while(0) #define StaticAssertExpr(condition, errmessage) \ - StaticAssertStmt(condition, errmessage) + ((void) sizeof(struct { int static_assert_failure : (condition) ? 1 : -1; })) #define StaticAssertDecl(condition, errmessage) \ regards, tom lane
