I consider these serious:

  int F(){}                // no return statement

  int F(){return;}         // no return value

  int F(){
     F(1,2,3);             // nonsensical calls
     F("HELLO");
  }

None of gcc 10, gcc 14, clang 19, tcc report a hard error in default mode.

Here I find it hard to believe that the language actually allows this.

There are also:

   int* A[10];        // array of pointer to int

   *A[i];             // index array then deref ptr
   (*A)[i];           // deref array then index ptr - WTF?

Compilers say nothing; but they can't because it is how C works.

Also:

   for (i = 0; i <= n; ++n);
       printf("%f", i)

A few things going on here: "<=" likely wrong; so is "++n"; so is that 
first ");"; so is that format.

The gccs say nothing. Clang warns on that ");" and the "%f".

Then:

    if (i = 0) {}
    i == 0;

Those =/== are most likely the wrong way around, but only clang warns. 
But then:

    if (i = F()){}

gives me the same warning, even though this is likely correct.

That is not a great solution. Everyone then creates their own dialect.

Ideally, if you have a C program written to a particular standard, then 
any C compiler for that standard should be able to build it without any 
special options.

I get to enforce not only what /I/ think is right, but what would 
generally be agreed to be right.

Most of those issues above (and dozens more examples I could show) are 
impossible to express in my language.

In the case of mixing up =/==, then for me it would be ':=/=', where it 
is less likely I'd write 'i := 0' for a condition. While this:

    i == 0;

which would be 'i = 0' in my syntax, is disallowed. (I used to write 
this by mistake after working with C or Python.)

The problem is the whole language is kaput, and fixing it by detecting a 
few patterns is just touching the surface.

This:

   sizeof(A)/sizeof(B[0])

is probably a mistake. Clang will warn, gcc can warn, except that 
sometimes you may well want to divide one size by another, but the same 
warning is produced with sizeof(A)/sizeof(B).

It's a mess. This is a non-issue in my language because I just write A.len.

In 1975 somebody could have simply added a lengthof() macro to C, if 
making it built-in was too problematic.

So C just consistently keeps making a rod for its own back.

So, I'm complaining about it!

The problem is that people coming into C think that that systems 
language as this level necessarily needs to be like this. It doesn't.
