[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] compiler: expression version of QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON uses a typedef in order to be safe
to use outside functions, but sometimes it's useful
to have a version that can be used within an expression.
Following what Linux does, introduce QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO
that return zero after checking condition at build time.
