Note

This header demonstrates that language-like control structures can technically be implemented using macros in C.

However, this pattern can easily lead to code that is difficult to read, debug, and maintain. Because of this risk, we will NOT introduce any additional "language block" style macros in this project.

This macro exists purely as a technical demonstration of what is possible in C, not as a recommended pattern for general use.

Warning

Avoid using this macro in production code. Control-flow macros can easily evolve into a macro-based DSL and make the codebase harder to understand.

			block )

Value:

    do {                                        \
        for (size_t _clibs_times_i = 0;         \
             _clibs_times_i < (count);          \
             ++_clibs_times_i)                  \
        {                                       \

        }                                       \
    } while (0)
