    As impressive as your code is (I can't beat it) do you no agree that the order of evaluation of vowels can make a huge difference? Your code makes the order irrelevant of course but, in general, I...

    It's just a branch. Writing in assembly the mnemonic has never (as far as I know) been "goto"; the example you give is a "C'ificiation"; it'll compile to an ASM branch instruction (which, yeah, are...

    a) Using bitwise OR the way you used it there is broken (it won't work... seriously)

    a) Why are you using bitwise OR?
    b) Parenthesis where they're not required could, arguably, be regarded as clutter
    c) I have no idea what you're talking about regarding the MUL, GOTO is. Further,...

    In test_a(), remove the test for test being NULL because that's the responsibility of the calling function (i.e. test != NULL should be a pre-condition). Either way you are of course correct but...
