It doesn't work with BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO().

test.c:
#define IS_POWER_OF_2(_n)				\
	({						\
		typeof(_n) n = (_n);			\
		n != 0 && ((n & (n - 1)) == 0);		\
	})

#define BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(e) ((int)(sizeof(struct { int:(-!!(e)); })))

#define FOO(n) ((n) + BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(!IS_POWER_OF_2(n)))

int main(void)
{
	return FOO(2);
}

$ gcc test.c
test.c: In function ‘main’:
test.c:16:51: error: bit-field ‘<anonymous>’ width not an integer constant
