在C语言中在构建时ASSERT表达式的方法

我正在整理一些旧的代码,这些代码使用"幻数"来设置硬件寄存器,我想使用常量而不是这些数字来使代码更具表现力(实际上它们将映射到名称/用于记录寄存器的值).

但是,我担心随着变化的数量,我可能会打破神奇的数字.这是一个简化的例子(寄存器集更复杂):

const short mode0 = 0;
const short mode1 = 1;
const short mode2 = 2;

const short state0 = 0;
const short state1 = 4;
const short state2 = 8;

而不是:

set_register(5);

我们有:

set_register(state1|mode1);

我正在寻找的是构建时间版本:

ASSERT(5==(state1|mode1));

更新

@Christian,感谢快速响应,我对C/non-boost环境的答案感兴趣,因为这是驱动程序/内核代码.

新答案:

在我的原始答案(下面)中,我必须有两个不同的宏来支持函数作用域和全局作用域中的断言.我想知道是否有可能提出一个适用于两个范围的解决方案.

我能够找到一个适用于使用外部字符数组的Visual Studio和Comeau编译器的解决方案.但我能够找到适用于GCC的更复杂的解决方案.但GCC的解决方案不适用于Visual Studio.:(但添加一个'#ifdef __ GNUC __',很容易为给定的编译器选择正确的宏集.

解:

#ifdef __GNUC__
#define STATIC_ASSERT_HELPER(expr, msg) \
    (!!sizeof \ (struct { unsigned int STATIC_ASSERTION__##msg: (expr) ? 1 : -1; }))
#define STATIC_ASSERT(expr, msg) \
    extern int (*assert_function__(void)) [STATIC_ASSERT_HELPER(expr, msg)]
#else
    #define STATIC_ASSERT(expr, msg)   \
    extern char STATIC_ASSERTION__##msg[1]; \
    extern char STATIC_ASSERTION__##msg[(expr)?1:2]
#endif /* #ifdef __GNUC__ */

以下是STATIC_ASSERT(1==1, test_message);test.c第22行报告的错误消息:

GCC:

line 22: error: negative width in bit-field `STATIC_ASSERTION__test_message'

视觉工作室:

test.c(22) : error C2369: 'STATIC_ASSERTION__test_message' : redefinition; different subscripts
    test.c(22) : see declaration of 'STATIC_ASSERTION__test_message'

科莫:

line 22: error: declaration is incompatible with
        "char STATIC_ASSERTION__test_message[1]" (declared at line 22)

 
 

原始答案:

我做了一些非常类似于Checkers的事情.但是我在许多编译器中都会显示一条消息:

#define STATIC_ASSERT(expr, msg)               \
{                                              \
    char STATIC_ASSERTION__##msg[(expr)?1:-1]; \
    (void)STATIC_ASSERTION__##msg[0];          \
}

并且为了在全局范围内(在函数外部)执行某些操作,请使用以下命令:

#define GLOBAL_STATIC_ASSERT(expr, msg)   \
  extern char STATIC_ASSERTION__##msg[1]; \
  extern char STATIC_ASSERTION__##msg[(expr)?1:2]

Ralf Holly撰写了一篇文章 ,研究了C语言中静态断言的不同选项.

他介绍了三种不同的方法:

switch case值必须是唯一的

数组不得有负尺寸

对于常量表达式除以零

他对最佳实施的结论如下:

#define assert_static(e) \
    do { \
        enum { assert_static__ = 1/(e) }; \
    } while (0)

Checkout boost的静态断言

如果您无权访问第三方库静态断言函数(如boost),则可以滚动自己的静态断言:

#define STATIC_ASSERT(x) \
    do { \
        const static char dummy[(x)?1:-1] = {0};\
    } while(0)

当然,缺点是错误信息不会非常有用,但至少,它会为您提供行号.

5> 小智..：

#define static_assert(expr) \
int __static_assert(int static_assert_failed[(expr)?1:-1])

它可以在任何地方,任何时间使用.我认为这是最简单的解决方案.

使用前,请仔细使用您的编译器进行测试.

6> Andreas Magn..：

尝试:

#define STATIC_ASSERT(x, error) \
do { \
    static const char error[(x)?1:-1];\
} while(0)

然后你可以写:

STATIC_ASSERT(a == b, a_not_equal_to_b);

这可能会给你一个更好的错误信息(取决于你的编译器).

此处列出的任何技术都应该有效,当C++ 0x可用时,您将能够使用内置static_assert关键字.

如果你有Boost那么使用BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT就是要走的路.如果您正在使用C或者不想在这里获取Boost,那么我的c_assert.h文件定义(并解释其工作原理)一些宏来处理静态断言.

它应该是更复杂的因为在ANSI C代码中你需要2个不同的宏 - 一个可以在你有声明的区域工作,一个可以在正常语句所在的区域工作.还有一些工作可以使宏在全局范围或块范围内工作,以及一堆gunk以确保没有名称冲突.

STATIC_ASSERT() 可以在变量声明块或全局范围中使用.

STATIC_ASSERT_EX() 可以在常规报表中.

对于C++代码(或允许声明与语句混合的C99代码)STATIC_ASSERT()可以在任何地方使用.

/*
    Define macros to allow compile-time assertions.

    If the expression is false, an error something like

        test.c(9) : error XXXXX: negative subscript

    will be issued (the exact error and its format is dependent
    on the compiler).

    The techique used for C is to declare an extern (which can be used in
    file or block scope) array with a size of 1 if the expr is TRUE and
    a size of -1 if the expr is false (which will result in a compiler error).
    A counter or line number is appended to the name to help make it unique.  
    Note that this is not a foolproof technique, but compilers are
    supposed to accept multiple identical extern declarations anyway.

    This technique doesn't work in all cases for C++ because extern declarations
    are not permitted inside classes.  To get a CPP_ASSERT(), there is an 
    implementation of something similar to Boost's BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT().  Boost's
    approach uses template specialization; when expr evaluates to 1, a typedef
    for the type 

        ::interslice::StaticAssert_test< sizeof( ::interslice::StaticAssert_failed) >

    which boils down to 

        ::interslice::StaticAssert_test< 1>

    which boils down to 

        struct StaticAssert_test

    is declared. If expr is 0, the compiler will be unable to find a specialization for

        ::interslice::StaticAssert_failed.

    STATIC_ASSERT() or C_ASSERT should work in either C or C++ code  (and they do the same thing)

    CPP_ASSERT is defined only for C++ code.

    Since declarations can only occur at file scope or at the start of a block in 
    standard C, the C_ASSERT() or STATIC_ASSERT() macros will only work there.  For situations
    where you want to perform compile-time asserts elsewhere, use C_ASSERT_EX() or
    STATIC_ASSERT_X() which wrap an enum declaration inside it's own block.
