Subject: [PATCH 08/17] rust: add `build_error` crate
Date:   Sun,  4 Jul 2021 22:27:47 +0200
Message-Id: <20210704202756.29107-9-ojeda@kernel.org>

The `build_error` crate provides the `build_error` function which
is then used to provide the `build_error!` and the `build_assert!`
macros.

`build_assert!` is intended to be used when `static_assert!` cannot
be used, e.g. when the condition refers to generic parameters or
parameters of an inline function.

+//! Build-time error.
+//!
+//! This crate provides a function `build_error`, which will panic in
+//! compile-time if executed in const context, and will cause a build error
+//! if not executed at compile time and the optimizer does not optimise away the
+//! call.
+//!
+//! It is used by `build_assert!` in the kernel crate, allowing checking of
+//! conditions that could be checked statically, but could not be enforced in
+//! Rust yet (e.g. perform some checks in const functions, but those
+//! functions could still be called in the runtime).
