[PATCH 01/10] compiler.h: add statically_false()

From: Vincent Mailhol via B4 Relay
Date: Mon Dec 02 2024 - 12:35:19 EST


From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol.vincent@xxxxxxxxxx>

For completion, add statically_false() which is the equivalent of
statically_true() except that it will return true only if the input is
known to be false at compile time.

The == operator is used instead of the ! negation to prevent a
-Wint-in-bool-context compiler warning when the argument is not a
boolean. For example:

statically_false(var * 0)
