    Using wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT() results in a compilation error if the

    the @c message identifier - please note that it must be a valid C++
    identifier and not a string unlike in the other cases.

    This macro is mostly useful for testing the expressions involving the
    @c sizeof operator as they can't be tested by the preprocessor but it is
    sometimes desirable to test them at the compile time.

    Note that this macro internally declares a struct whose name it tries to
    make unique by using the @c __LINE__ in it but it may still not work if you
    use it on the same line in two different source files. In this case you may
    either change the line in which either of them appears on or use the
    wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT2() macro.

    Also note that Microsoft Visual C++ has a bug which results in compiler
    errors if you use this macro with 'Program Database For Edit And Continue'
    (@c /ZI) option, so you shouldn't use it ('Program Database' (@c /Zi) is ok
    though) for the code making use of this macro.
