Add the `build_error!` and `build_assert!` macros which leverage
the previously introduced `build_error` crate. Do so in a new
module, called `build_assert`.
The former fails the build if the code path calling it can possibly
be executed. The latter asserts that a boolean expression is `true`
at compile time.
In particular, `build_assert!` can be used in some contexts where
`static_assert!` cannot:
fn f1<const N: usize>() {
static_assert!(N > 1);` // Error.
build_assert!(N > 1); // Build-time check.
assert!(N > 1); // Run-time check.
}
#[inline]
fn f2(n: usize) {
static_assert!(n > 1); // Error.
build_assert!(n > 1); // Build-time check.
assert!(n > 1); // Run-time check.
}
