static expression

Using Static Expressions with Conditional Compilation defines the kind of expression you can use with conditional compilation…

I got one question on forums.oracle.com today, an user wanted to use bitand and could not.

I wrote my answer but, … , the site is down and eventually my answer did not get accepted.

So, to translate bitand(x,y)=z, using static expression, when x(
(
(x=0) or
(y=0) or
(x=1 and (y=2 or y=4 or y=6)) or
(x=2 and (y=1 or y=3 or y=5 or y=7)) or
(x=3 and y=4) or
(x=4 and (y=1 or y=2 or y=3)) or
(x=5 and y=2) or
(x=6 and y=1)
) and z=0
) or (
(
(x=1 and (y=1 or y=3 or y=5 or y=7)) or
(x=3 and (y=1 or y=5)) or
(x=5 and (y=1 or y=3)) or
(x=7 and y=1)
) and z=1
) or (
(
(x=2 and (y=2 or y=3 or y=6 or y=7)) or
(x=3 and (y=2 or y=6)) or
(x=6 and (y=2 or y=3)) or
(x=7 and (y=2))
) and z=2
) or (
(
(x=3 and (y=3 or y=7)) or
(x=7 and y=3)
) and z=3
) or (
(
(x=4 and (y=4 or y=5 or y=6 or y=7)) or
(x=5 and (y=4 or y=6)) or
(x=6 and (y=4 or y=5)) or
(x=7 and y=4)
) and z=4
) or (
(
(x=5 and (y=5 or y=7)) or
(x=7 and y=5)
) and z=5
) or (
(
(x=6 and (y=6 or y=7)) or
(x=7 and y=6)
) and z=6
) or (
x=7 and y=7 and z=7
)

quite big, but this is evaluated only once, at compilation time, so it should be an acceptable workaround in some case !
