I also thought that the new "prototype negative array-dimension" based approach (i.e. StaticAssertDecl) looked like an improvementover the existing "negative bit-field width" approach (i.e. StaticAssertStmt), because it seems to work for morescenarios (e.g. file scope). But I did not refactor existing code to use the new way because I was fearful that there might be some subtle reason whythe StaticAssertStmt was deliberately made that way (e.g. as do/while), and last thing I want to do was break workingcode. > Should then also update > * Otherwise we fall back on a kluge that assumes the compiler will complain > * about a negative width for a struct bit-field.
