(In the moment I check the divisor being zero or not, with an 
if-than-else structure,
but I find it ugly and so I ask here.)

c = b == 0 ? d : a/b;

I don't think a function would be shorter or clearer...

c = div(a, b, d);

Alternatively, you could use a type to effect the behavior you 
want.

Thanks, for the hints.
I find the ? :  - expressions sometimes hard to reed, especially 
when a and b are not so  simple expressions.

I prefer putting additional bracket around:
c = (b_expression == 0) ? (d_longer_expression) : 
(a_expression/b_expression);
