For me, a great piece of code is a code that works.
Now I agree it can become quite difficult to find bugs (especially the
pointer ones) when your code gets bigger. But those are not bugs that
required intensive hunting/testing. Those are syntax errors, and a simple
compilation try would have immediatly revealed them. So I stand on my
point: reread and test your code at least once, to prevent such silly
errors to happen in the future.
