Issue with NK_STATIC_ASSERT during compilation in MSYS2 #747

@ghost

Description

Hi,

I am working on creating Nuklear bindings for xBase family languages. During compilation in MSYS2, I encountered the following errors:

nuklear.h:301:61: error: size of array '_dummy_array443' is negative
  301 |   #define NK_STATIC_ASSERT(exp) typedef char NK_UNIQUE_NAME(_dummy_array)[(exp)?1:-1]
nuklear.h:443:1: note: in expansion of macro 'NK_STATIC_ASSERT'
  443 | NK_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(nk_size) >= sizeof(void*));
nuklear.h:444:1: note: in expansion of macro 'NK_STATIC_ASSERT'
  444 | NK_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(nk_ptr) >= sizeof(void*));  

The only way to bypass this issue and successfully compile the library and example was to comment out the following lines:

// NK_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(nk_size) >= sizeof(void*));
// NK_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(nk_ptr) >= sizeof(void*));

This allowed me to proceed with testing, but I understand that this is not a proper solution.

The problem occurs only in the MSYS2 environment – everything works correctly under Linux.

What can be done to address this issue?
