  Thank you for that. It is great, that this is known for years. I am not a regular C coder, so I am merely asking out of curiosity. Could you supply a non-Google link to example code? Perhaps in some git repository or a code snippet on a non-Google snippet website?

    Here's an example of a similar library: https://github.com/foonathan/type_safe https://github.com/foonathan/type_safe

      Aha, thank you, that's pretty cool! I wonder how they manage to make these types zero-overhead.

        It can't be zero-overhead over e.g. int a,b ; a+b; It's however zero-overhead wrt a+b plus the manual error checking you'd have to do if you wanted to be correct
