    I have to admit, that does look quite elegant. Once I spent the time required to figure out how it works. I'll grant that I don't do that much in C so I'm probably not considered hard core. I find it more usefull to the company (and thereby myself) not to spend hours reading every dusty tome I can find on a language so I can use devices that require another archwizard geek to even figure out whats going on, let alone debug a program on a wider scale with trinkets like this in it.

    I really hope you didn't mean the code at the start of this thread.... please please please.

    I read this, gasped and said "oh no" in a really girly voice - I couldn't help the panic attack from starting up inside.  Are there any programmers left who think about stacks, function calls & conventions, inlining, memory allocation etc..?  It makes me cringe to think there are people who get piad for writing this kind of crap!  On the plus side it comforts me to know that my job future is secure [:)]

    On a separate point, I love C and C++ and I'm not a fan of VB at all, but I'm not one of those weird freaks of nature with absolutely no life who justifies his existance with "I know C, I'm as 'ard as a coffin nail".  It seems that most of the folks who know just how huge of a WTF this is are in fact VB programmers.  C'mon guys, come and learn C!  I think this thread shows quite nicely that there are not many C programmers, but there are quite a few C crucifiers who just luuuuuuv that ctrl+c ctrl+v combination and have a complete lack of any knowledge relating to how programming is made into something useful.  Help us out - convert to the dark side!!

    At least C-compilers are smart enough to generate code that stops evaluating all conditions when || (logical OR) is used and a "true" condition is met somewhere in it
    Every good C-compiler MUST do this because this kind of evaluation is clearly stated in standard.
