/// Asserts that types are equal in size.
///
/// When performing operations such as pointer casts or dealing with [`usize`]
/// versus [`u64`] versus [`u32`], the size of your types matter. That is where
/// this macro comes into play.
///
/// # Alternatives
///
/// There also exists [`assert_eq_size_val`](macro.assert_eq_size_val.html) and
/// [`assert_eq_size_ptr`](macro.assert_eq_size_ptr.html). Instead of specifying
/// types to compare, values' sizes can be directly compared against each other.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// These three types, despite being very different, all have the same size:
///
/// ```
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate static_assertions; fn main() {}
/// assert_eq_size!([u8; 4], (u16, u16), u32);
/// ```
///
/// The following example fails to compile because `u32` has 4 times the size of
/// `u8`:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate static_assertions; fn main() {}
/// assert_eq_size!(u32, u8);
/// ```
///
#[macro_export]
macro_rules! assert_eq_size {
($x:ty, $($xs:ty),+ $(,)?) => {
const _: fn() = || {
$(let _ = $crate::_core::mem::transmute::<$x, $xs>;)+
};
};
}
/// Asserts that values pointed to are equal in size.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// This especially is useful for when coercing pointers between different types
/// and ensuring the underlying values are the same size.
///
/// ```
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate static_assertions; fn main() {}
/// fn operation(x: &(u32, u32), y: &[u16; 4]) {
/// assert_eq_size_ptr!(x, y);
/// // ...
/// }
/// ```
///
/// The following example fails to compile because byte arrays of different
/// lengths have different sizes:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate static_assertions;
/// # fn main() {
/// static BYTES: &[u8; 4] = &[
/// /* ... */
/// # 0; 4
/// ];
///
/// static TABLE: &[u8; 16] = &[
/// /* ... */
/// # 0; 16
/// ];
///
/// assert_eq_size_ptr!(BYTES, TABLE);
/// ```
#[macro_export]
macro_rules! assert_eq_size_ptr {
($x:expr, $($xs:expr),+ $(,)?) => {

let _ = || unsafe {

let mut copy = ptr::read($x);
$(ptr::write(&mut copy, mem::transmute(ptr::read($xs)));)+
mem::forget(copy);
};
}
}
/// Asserts that values are equal in size.
///
/// This macro doesn't consume its arguments and thus works for
/// non-[`Clone`]able values.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate static_assertions;
/// # fn main() {
/// struct Byte(u8);
///
/// let x = 10u8;
/// let y = Byte(42); // Works for non-cloneable types
///
/// assert_eq_size_val!(x, y);
/// assert_eq_size_val!(x, y, 0u8);
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// Even though both values are 0, they are of types with different sizes:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate static_assertions;
/// # fn main() {
/// assert_eq_size_val!(0u8, 0u32);
/// # }
/// ```
