Except const_NULL() really doesn't work at all - so you are lucky :-)

So maybe the slightly long lines:
#define const_true(x) _Generic(0 ? (void *)((x) + 0 ? 0L : 1L) : (char *)0, char *: 1, void *: 0)
#define const_expr(x) _Generic(0 ? (void *)((x) + 0 ? 0L : 0L) : (char *)0, char *: 1, void *: 0)

I make that 98 characters.
Of course, you can remove all the spaces, only one of the constants need the L suffix
and 'int' is a shorter type name.
That cuts is down to 76:
#define const_expr(x) _Generic(0?(void*)((x)+0?0L:0):(int*)0,int*:1,void*:0)
which starts looking like the TECO commands to parse its command line!
