 129     identifier and not a string unlike in the other cases.
 130
 131     This macro is mostly useful for testing the expressions involving the
 132     @c sizeof operator as they can't be tested by the preprocessor but it is
 133     sometimes desirable to test them at the compile time.
 134
 135     Note that this macro internally declares a struct whose name it tries to
 136     make unique by using the @c __LINE__ in it but it may still not work if you
 137     use it on the same line in two different source files. In this case you may
 138     either change the line in which either of them appears on or use the
 139     wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT2() macro.

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