Has anyone ever tried to compile it? It doesn't work for me:

  gcc -w 1990/tbr.c
  1990/tbr.c: In function ‘main’:
  1990/tbr.c:7:50: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
      7 |   e(-8)     ,gets      (1+(    c=q)     )||      exit      (0);     r(0,0)
        |                                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1990/tbr.c: In function ‘e’:
  1990/tbr.c:22:43: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
     22 |  3 ;}e(x){x<0?write(2,"?\n$ "-x/4,2),x+1||exit(1):
        |                                           ^~~~~~~

Similar for clang. I'm sure there is an easy fix, but I don't know what it is.

The program in question, if anyone is wondering, was the 1990 winner of IOCCC "Best Utility" award. Source is here:
