Interesting - looks like it depends on your GCC version, 7.3.0 catches it with -Wall here: chris@quad:/tmp$ gcc -Wall test.c -o test test.c: In function ‘main’: test.c:6:2: warning: this ‘if’ clause does not guard... [-Wmisleading-indentation] if ( test ); ^~ test.c:7:3: note: ...this statement, but the latter is misleadingly indented as if it were guarded by the ‘if’ printf ( "hello\n" ); ^~~~~~ > So I guess I have to forgive the software engineer who fat-fingered that > semicolon.
