I agree with everything said.

But I need to point out: The code sample is just hilarious!

Typical C code… Not even correctly indented. ;-)

I will never get those people creating all this write only code.

The C hackers seem to even think chars in symbols are scarce, so they still name them like `c`, `d`, `s`, `pp`, `me`, `mv`, `qpel`, `fx`, `bx`, etc.

Paired with zero abstraction (because C is not much more than a macro assembler) this creates the most horrible code I can imagine.
