For me the line above isn't obvious and easy to read. If I would be in doubt, whether it really performs correctly, I would have to ask the c-guide, to be absolutely shure.
But to be honest: If I need to find a bug arround taht lines, I wouldn't ask the c-guide, but simply add some (). Then it would be 100% clear and no one would be in doubt any more.

What's the disadvantage of () to emphasise waht is going on. An other Option for me would be, to spend a command line and write that info in form of a comment.


Just my opinion and the way, I would go on if I am in doubt and need to find a bug.

Cheers,

Marcus
