A couple of things I'd like to see in LightSpeed C (which I greatly enjoy):

Macros can be tricky. It would sure be nice to have the compiler optionally
generate a file containing the output of the macro pre-processor. This
would help me catch lots of otherwise very obscure bugs.

I get rather annoyed with C at times because it lets me do dumb things
without complaining. Prototypes help, but I think it would be nice to
have a Lint option that would check your project for dumb mistakes (and
machine-dependency, though Mac programmers don't usually worry about that
too much -- what machine are they going to port their programs to?). It
seems that with LSC's projects, a nice implementation of this could be done.
It wouldn't need to be fast, either, since it would probably only be used
after major revisions or when bug-exterminating.

Other ANSI extensions would be nice, such as allowing function definitions
to have the same format as prototypes (for easier copy/pasteing) and
string/name concatenation at compile time. I would guess, though, that
THINK plans on supporting ANSI in full if and when it is finalized.
