static_assertions 0.1.1

Compile-time assertions to ensure that invariants are met.
Documentation
//! Compile-time assertions to ensure that invariants are met.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! This crate is available [on crates.io][crate] and can be used by adding the
//! following to your project's `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! static_assertions = "0.1"
//! ```
//!
//! and this to your crate root:
//!
//! ```
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate static_assertions;
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! # Assert Equal Size
//!
//! When performing operations such as pointer casts or dealing with [`usize`]
//! versus [`u64`] versus [`u32`], the size of your types matter. This is where
//! [`assert_eq_size`] comes into play. Types provided as arguments to
//! [`assert_eq_size`] are ensured to be the same size at compile-time. If the
//! types differ in size, the code will fail to compile.
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use]
//! # extern crate static_assertions;
//! # fn main() {
//! assert_eq_size!([u8; 4], (u16, u16), u32);
//!
//! // Produces a compilation failure:
//! // assert_eq_size!(u32, u8);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Similar to [`assert_eq_size`], there is [`assert_eq_size_val`]. Instead of
//! specifying types to compare, values' sizes can be directly compared against
//! each other.
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use]
//! # extern crate static_assertions;
//! # fn main() {
//! let x = 42u8;
//! let y = true;
//!
//! assert_eq_size_val!(x, y);
//! # }
//! ```
//! [`assert_eq_size_val`] doesn't consume its arguments and thus works for
//! non-[`Clone`]able values.
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use]
//! # extern crate static_assertions;
//! # fn main() {
//! struct Buffer([u8; 256]);
//!
//! let buf = Buffer([0; 256]);
//! let val = [0u64; 32];
//!
//! assert_eq_size_val!(buf, val);
//!
//! // `buf` and `val` can be used here
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Assert Constant Expression
//!
//! Constant expressions can be ensured to have certain properties via
//! [`const_assert`]. If the expression evaluates to `false`, the file will fail
//! to compile. This is synonymous to [`static_assert` in C++][static_assert].
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use]
//! # extern crate static_assertions;
//! # fn main() {
//! const NUM: usize = 32;
//!
//! const_assert!(NUM * NUM == 1024);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! As a shorthand for `const_assert!(a == b)`, there's [`const_assert_eq`]:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use]
//! # extern crate static_assertions;
//! # fn main() {
//! const NUM: usize = 32;
//! const_assert_eq!(NUM + NUM, 64);
//!
//! const TWO: usize = 2;
//! const_assert_eq!(TWO * TWO, TWO + TWO, 4);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! **Limitation:** Due to implementation details, [`assert_eq_size`],
//! [`const_assert`], and [`const_assert_eq`] can only be used from within the
//! context of a function.
