Actually I made all functions a single line and then run some
bash scripts that parses pseudocode like:

echo "INFO: \7 reaches \9 - 1 after loop"
bli "	
	if \((${npz}[&|][&|])?
		--($w) $em?[<=] ($K|$w|$d)
		((&&|\|\|)$(nestedcode "()"))?\)
	(\{
		($(nestedcode "{}"))*
		break ;
	\}|
		break ;
	)
	$ccode
	(
		$Q(\7 [=$em]= \9|\7 (>=|<) \9)
	|
		return \7 ;
	)
	"

This gives me a match like:
  while(...) {
    if (--i < 0)
      break;
    ...
  }
  ...
  if (i != 0)
    ...
which is wrong since i reaches -1.
