In ANSI 'C' there's a difference between ()?():() and (()&&())||(~()&&()).
The type of the result differs if one of the resulting expressions is
(void *):

	(()&&(char *))||(~()||(void *))	-- may be char *, will never be void *.
	()?(char *):(void *) -- will be void *

See comp.std.c for exhaustive debate on the subject.
