My pet peeve is the EOL terminator for printf commands. Sure I
understand that it is possible to end up printing whole sections of
your program, but the error will be obvious at run-time and being able
to write
printf("
This is a title for a list of variables
%d %d %d %d %d %d",
a,b,c,d,e,f)
would be very convenient and, I think, much more legible
than
printf ("\n\t\tThis is a title for a list of variables\n\
%d\t%d\t%d\t%d\t%d\t%d",a,b,c,d,e,f)
