<p>Constant expressions can be ensured to have certain properties via this
macro If the expression evaluates to <code>false</code>, the file will fail to compile.
This is synonymous to <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/static_assert"><code>static_assert</code> in C++</a>.</p>
<h2 id="alternatives"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#alternatives">§</a>Alternatives</h2>
<p>There also exists <a href="macro.const_assert_eq.html"><code>const_assert_eq</code></a> for
validating whether a sequence of expressions are equal to one another.</p>
<h2 id="examples"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#examples">§</a>Examples</h2>
<p>A common use case is to guarantee properties about a constant value thats
generated via meta-programming.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">const </span>VALUE: i32 = <span class="comment">// ...
</span><span class="macro">const_assert!</span>(VALUE &gt;= <span class="number">2</span>);</code></pre></div>
<p>Inputs are type-checked as booleans:</p>
<div class="example-wrap compile_fail"><a href="#" class="tooltip" title="This example deliberately fails to compile"></a><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="macro">const_assert!</span>(!<span class="number">0</span>);</code></pre></div>
<p>Despite this being a macro, we see this produces a type error:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-txt"><code> | const_assert!(!0);
| ^^ expected bool, found integral variable
|
= note: expected type `bool`
found type `{integer}`</code></pre></div>
<p>The following fails to compile because multiplying by 5 does not have an
identity property:</p>
<div class="example-wrap compile_fail"><a href="#" class="tooltip" title="This example deliberately fails to compile"></a><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="macro">const_assert!</span>(<span class="number">5 </span>* <span class="number">5 </span>== <span class="number">5</span>);</code></pre></div>
