[edit] Error numbers
|
macro which expands to POSIX-compatible thread-local error number variable (macro variable) [edit]
|
|
macros for standard POSIX-compatible error conditions (macro constant) [edit]
|
[edit] Assertions
|
aborts the program if the user-specified condition is not true. May be disabled for release builds (function macro) [edit]
|
|
issues a compile-time diagnostic if the value of a constant expression is false (keyword macro)

Bounds checking
The standard library provides bounds-checked versions of some existing functions (gets_s, fopen_s, printf_s, strcpy_s, wcscpy_s, mbstowcs_s, qsort_s, getenv_s, etc). This functionality is optional and is only available if __STDC_LIB_EXT1__ is defined. The following macros and functions support this functionality.
|
|
a typedef for the type int, used to self-document functions that return errno values (typedef)
|
|
|
a typedef for the same type as size_t, used to self-document functions that range-check their parameters at runtime (typedef)
|
|
|
largest acceptable size for bounds-checked functions, expands to either constant or variable which may change at runtime (e.g. as the currently allocated memory size changes) (macro variable)
|
|
|
set the error callback for bounds-checked functions (function) [edit]
|
|
abort callback for the bounds-checked functions (function) [edit]
|
|
ignore callback for the bounds-checked functions (function) [edit]
|
Note: implementations of bounds-checked functions are available as open-source libraries Safe C and Slibc, and as part of Watcom C. There is also an incompatible set of bounds-checked functions available in Visual Studio.

(since C11) |
Since C23, static_assert is itself a keyword, which may also be a predefined macro, so <assert.h>
no longer provides it.
