#define if!(x) if(!(x)) isnt allowed, I get this warning warning: "ISO C requires whitespace after the macro name"
Does anyone know why?

Sir, e^iπ + 1 = 0, hence God exists; reply!

I'd wager a guess that the macro name can't contain !, since that a unary operator, not a character.

But why cant I use a unary operator in a define?

Why?! Because it's stupid!
Hands off operator look-alike macro definitions! You could try #define IFNOT or something similar, though i really dont see any gain. At most you save yourself from having to type a pair of parenthesis at the expensive of horribly unreadable code.

You should be a lisp user...

if!(x) if(!(x)) saves a set of brackets...
im just doing fi instead because its if written backwards, clever see!
*goes off to check out lisp
*shudders at the number of brackets he see's

Those are parentheses, not brackets, and they are beautiful.

Post: #10Code:
#define ifn(x) if (!(x))is just as few characters. I still think you're nuts though

this works nicely too:
#define while_dont(x) while(!(x))
.this works nicely too:
#define while_dont(x) while(!(x))

Make sure you never show that to anyone of authority, they might have you locked up and/or dumped into the gutter for that.
