The enumeration definition will either be in a C file, in which case the
const should be "static" because it is local to the file, or it will be
in a header, in which case making the small const "static" can be vastly
more efficient in many ways. I have been assuming that this definition
is at file scope, as most type declarations are, rather than local to a
function. If it is local to a function, then decent compilers will give
the same resulting code with or without the static.
But I see I have made a mistake here - I have mixed up with C++. You
can't use static_assert in C with a "const" like this for compile-time
checking. So in C, prior to C23, you actually need to write (with the
+1 correction to my original example) :
enum E1 { A, B, C, D };
enum { count_of_E1 = D + 1 };
if you want to be able to write :
_Static_assert(count_of_E1 == 4, "Checking enumeration");
With C23, you could have "constexpr int count_of_E1 = D;" and use it in
a static assertion. (constexpr declarations always have internal
linkage, so no "static" is needed.)
