Yes, I was keenly aware that I wasn't exactly "God's gift to C
Programming"
and tried to get as much help from the compiler to avoid obvious mistakes
as possible.
Kind regards,

I feel like most of the changes to C after C89 were a waste. Apart
from stdint.h, I mostly keep to coding in strict C89.
And then I must not only specfy std-c89 in GCC, but add --pedantic, too.
There is even a --pedantic club: <https://pedantic.software/> .
