Interesting. I've never had that experience in the past 15ish years doing POSIXish systems stuff. I've always found it the more natural expression for handling EINTR from syscalls like read/write. I've also never seen anyone seriously discourage its use in ##c on freenode over the same-ish timeframe. I think the only place I may have seen it come up may have been if someone was doing something egregious with a macro. You've of course worked on C with far more people for far longer than I have, but I'm really surprised to hear that this is a widespread thing, and would be curious to hear more about where that came from. Do C++ folks hate it and try to force that on C, perhaps?
