assert(3): Update with _Static_assert

[0mp]

Note: usually we try to avoid "you" in the documentation.

Also, I don't know much about static_assert. We may need a src committer help here.

Ah, I again made that mistake! Sorry :-(

I'd add an example too.

static_assert(sizeof(int) == sizeof(void *), "ints and pointers are different sizes");

• assert(3): rephrase and remove the "your" determiner

Sure, I will update it shortly. Thanks.

• assert(3): add an example for static_assert()

Fixup!

Not sure if you also want to mention C++ here. This statement is only true for C, in C++11 static_assert is a keyword and _Static_assert. GCC rejects _Static_assert in C++ mode while clang accepts it.

Completely true. _Static_assert does not exist in C++, and that's why using static_assert is mostly preferred. And this is indeed very good to educate the reader. But I think we predominantly discuss C topics, and since a lot of things differ in C++, I think this is not necessary to delve into such details.
