I think these features may improve C code readability. (Easy feature first). * // one line comment * inline function static inline function can be used instead of may macros. It is more readable, and type safe.
My experience from a few months ago with some cross-platform code is that clang, GCC and MSVC have different ideas about how inline functions in C work. Are they static or extern? Do you need provide an implementation body somewhere?
There are also differences between the C++ and C99 definitions.
Probably all solvable with build settings, but not as easy as one line comments.
