/* Each of these macros verifies that its argument R is a nonzero
   constant expression.  To be portable, R's type must be integer (or
   boolean).  Unlike assert, there is no run-time overhead.

   There are two macros, since no single macro can be used in all
   contexts in C.  verify_true (R) is for scalar contexts, where it
   may be cast to void if need be.  verify (R) is for declaration
   contexts, e.g., the top level.

   The symbols verify_error_if_negative_size__ and verify_function__
   are private to this header.  */
