Here's a list of mildly interesting things about the C language that I learned mostly by consuming Clang's ASTs. Although surprises are getting sparser, I might continue to update this document over time.

There are many more mildly interesting features of C++, but the language is literally known for being weird, whereas C is usually considered smaller and simpler, so this is (almost) only about C.

1. Combined type and variable/field declaration, inside a struct scope [https://godbolt.org/g/Rh94Go]

Automatically Prepend a Jira Issue ID to Git Commit Messages

Use a git hook to match a Jira issue ID from the current branch, and prepend it to every commit message

Assuming the current branch contains a Jira issue ID, you can use a git hook script to prepend it to every commit message.

1. Create an empty commit-msg git hook file, and make it executable. From your project's root directory:

    install -b -m 755 /dev/null .git/hooks/commit-msg
   

2. Save the following script to the newly-created .git/hooks/commit-msg file:

{
      "text": "RT @PostGradProblem: In preparation for the NFL lockout, I will be spending twice as much time analyzing my fantasy baseball team during ...", 
      "truncated": true,

      "in_reply_to_status_id": null, 
      "favorited": false, 
      "source": "<a href=\"http://twitter.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter for iPhone</a>",
