Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/5 ver3] debug: BUILD_BUG_ON: error on non-const expressions


Fix BUILD_BUG_ON to not silently drop non-compile-time
visible expressions. It will now produce a compilation
error if so.

The code to BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO was done by:
Jan Beulich <jbeulich@...ell.com>

The code to BUILD_BUG_ON is a small variation to Jan's
code inspired by Rusty Russell. Which gives me better
compilations semantics, and makes BUILD_BUG_ON behave
more like BUG_ON.
