  Hi...
  
  Thank you for the clarification. However, IIRC, both !(myblock) or (!myblock) should yield same result. I am away from dedicated Linux box right now, but I'll confirm it ASAP.

  No the OP is right. IANACP but for it to compile with GCC 4.1.2 I had to make the same changes.

  IAACP and no, it's wrong.
  Even if it's accepted by any compiler, it shouldn't.
  The grammar of the C language states that parenthesis are mandatory part of "if statement", formally know as "selection_statement":
  
  selection_statement: in statement
  IF '(' expression ')' statement
  | IF '(' expression ')' statement ELSE statement
