104 identifier and not a string unlike in the other cases.
105
106 This macro is mostly useful for testing the expressions involving the
107 @c sizeof operator as they can't be tested by the preprocessor but it is
108 sometimes desirable to test them at the compile time.
109
110 Note that this macro internally declares a struct whose name it tries to
111 make unique by using the @c __LINE__ in it but it may still not work if you
112 use it on the same line in two different source files. In this case you may
113 either change the line in which either of them appears on or use the
114 wxCOMPILE_TIME_ASSERT2() macro.
115
116 Also note that Microsoft Visual C++ has a bug which results in compiler
117 errors if you use this macro with 'Program Database For Edit And Continue'
118 (@c /ZI) option, so you shouldn't use it ('Program Database' (@c /Zi) is ok
119 though) for the code making use of this macro.
