+PR_STATIC_ASSERT
+================
+
+Prevents code from compiling when an expression has the value ``FALSE``
+at compile time.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prlog.h>
+
+ PR_STATIC_ASSERT ( expression );
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The macro has this parameter:
+
+expression
+ Any valid expression which evaluates at compile-time to ``TRUE`` or
+ ``FALSE``. An expression which cannot be evaluated at compile time
+ will cause a compiler error; see :ref:`PR_ASSERT` for a runtime
+ alternative.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+Nothing
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This macro evaluates the specified expression. When the result is zero
+(``FALSE``) program compilation will fail with a compiler error;
+otherwise compilation completes successfully. The compiler error will
+include the number of the line for which the compile-time assertion
+failed.
+
+This macro may only be used in locations where an ``extern`` function
+declaration may be used.
