Use of "?" ":"

What's this:

Code:

---

q = (q->next == oldhead ? NULL : q->next);

---

it means

Code:

---

if (q->next == oldhead)
    q = NULL;
else
    q = q->next;

---

Ah...thanks

And it's called a ternary operator :-)

These are handy for when you wish to annoy people with hard to follow code. I do use them a lot of the time though... Just do not get carried away with them since they really do make your code more difficult on others.

Frequent use of these & a lack of/poor use of white space & you have all the standards evident in Obfuscated C Code.

You missed:
Using O and l as variables - preferrably sequences of O0 and l1's.
Heavily using macros.
Using indexing the "wrong way around" and on string literals.

You must have at least 3 out of the 5 to qualify.
