Lesser-known C coding styles

I shan't be taking it up, but this semicolon-first style has merits.

The example looks perfectly readable to me. And it is probably makes it harder to miss semicolons, because all those for one block line up in a single column. The main thing I fear is it increases the chance of an accidental:

    if(foo)
    ;  do_something_i_though_was_conditional()

But if you are already using braces everywhere, {then this isn't a problem}.

I'm partial to the lisp style:

#include <stdio.h>

int loop(int i){ return ((i==0) ?0 :(printf("%d\n",i),loop(i-1)));}

int main (void){ return loop(10);}
