Ask them about their C language coding standard before they even get the chance to bring it up. I find that you get more respect (and better employment) when you actively participate in structuring the conversation at the time of the interview. I'm impressed with organizations that have such standards. I'd ask to take home a copy of their coding standard and see what response you get (you might even get a copy). That document can tell you a lot about the your potential employer, by reading "between the lines" a little.
