static_assert is C23, rather use _Static_assert

[barracuda156]

static_assert is C23, so it won’t work unless the standard is forced, but _Static_assert works fine.

At the same time CMakeLists ask only for C11:

Line 5 in 7a85414

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)

static_assert is C23

That's not really correct. static_assert is defined by C11 and later, it just became a keyword in C23. Prior to that it's a macro that is supposed to be defined by assert.h.

Build fails for me with gcc-13 if static_assert is used and succeeds with _Static_assert, no other changes. Maybe something wrong with headers then, but I have no idea how to fix it otherwise.

Yes, I never said that wouldn't work (though _Static_assert is deprecated in C23, so it may stop working in future). And yes, the headers are not C11 compliant if they don't define the macro. Another possible workaround is the one used by Python: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.12.1/Include/pymacro.h#L20-L24
