Hi,

not sure if this matters or how int can be fixed, but today I observed 
the following:

Your web page says that "Static assertions" are supported by GCC since 
version 4.3.

Today I tried to use "Static assertions" on an  avr-g++ resp. avr-gcc 
which identifies
itself as:

eedjsa@server68:~/projects/AVR_workspace/ATMEGA8U2_32U2$ avr-g++ --version
avr-g++ (GCC) 5.4.0
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

eedjsa@server68:~/projects/AVR_workspace/ATMEGA8U2_32U2$ avr-gcc --version
avr-gcc (GCC) 5.4.0

but it seems not to support static assertions.

The "regular" g++ works:

eedjsa@server68:~/projects/AVR_workspace/ATMEGA8U2_32U2$ echo '
static_assert(0, "error"); int main() {}' | g++ -S -o /dev/null -x c++ -
<stdin>:2:15: error: static assertion failed: error

while the avr-g++ fails:

eedjsa@server68:~/projects/AVR_workspace/ATMEGA8U2_32U2$ echo '
static_assert(0, "error"); int main() {}' | avr-g++ -S -o /dev/null -x c++ -
<stdin>:2:14: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type 
conversion before ‘(’ token

Maybe this should be mentioned on the web page.

Best Regards,
Jürgen Sauermann
