+//! Build-time assert.
+
+/// Fails the build if the code path calling `build_error!` can possibly be executed.
+///
+/// If the macro is executed in const context, `build_error!` will panic.
+/// If the compiler or optimizer cannot guarantee that `build_error!` can never
+/// be called, a build error will be triggered.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// # use kernel::build_error;
+/// #[inline]
+/// fn foo(a: usize) -> usize {
+/// a.checked_add(1).unwrap_or_else(|| build_error!("overflow"))
+/// }
+///
+/// assert_eq!(foo(usize::MAX - 1), usize::MAX); // OK.
+/// // foo(usize::MAX); // Fails to compile.
+/// ```

+/// Asserts that a boolean expression is `true` at compile time.
+///
+/// If the condition is evaluated to `false` in const context, `build_assert!`
+/// will panic. If the compiler or optimizer cannot guarantee the condition will
+/// be evaluated to `true`, a build error will be triggered.
+///
+/// [`static_assert!`] should be preferred to `build_assert!` whenever possible.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// These examples show that different types of [`assert!`] will trigger errors
+/// at different stage of compilation. It is preferred to err as early as
+/// possible, so [`static_assert!`] should be used whenever possible.
+/// ```ignore
+/// fn foo() {
+/// static_assert!(1 > 1); // Compile-time error
+/// build_assert!(1 > 1); // Build-time error
+/// assert!(1 > 1); // Run-time error
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// When the condition refers to generic parameters or parameters of an inline function,
+/// [`static_assert!`] cannot be used. Use `build_assert!` in this scenario.
+/// ```
+/// fn foo<const N: usize>() {
+/// // `static_assert!(N > 1);` is not allowed
+/// build_assert!(N > 1); // Build-time check
+/// assert!(N > 1); // Run-time check
+/// }
+///
+/// #[inline]
+/// fn bar(n: usize) {
+/// // `static_assert!(n > 1);` is not allowed
