Looks like a 17 year old "clever" programmer wrote it, who will be unemployed in 5 years due to thinking he's too smart to learn anything new.

it's written by a Cornell ECE professor for AVR

who will be unemployed in 5 years for refusing to learn anything new.

ok lets start a define thread

#define true 1
#define false 2

#define true 1
#define false 2

>>62007526
Academics were mistake

What's wrong with that? If something like this drives you nuts I can't imagine what you'll do once you actually start working and see the code styles some companies use

Don't ever forget the classic, the Bourne Shell.

Or even more subtle

#define true -1

Makes sense in a situation where 0 == null and you explicitly want to test whether something is false.

Apparently typing 4-5 characters is more efficient than a single open/close curly brace.

If it is code for education, it might make it easier to skim and to look for potential issus. Also, maybe the guy has his background in diffrent languages.

I mean don't get me wrong, I agree with OP on why.....
