That's why I _always_ use brackets with conditionals and loops, so

if (condition) {
    CHECK_ERR;
}
else {
    something();
}

should be just fine...

BTW: The warnings for '=' instead of '==' could be eliminated if you 
double-brace the condition - as this is a legal in C and many people 
using it, especially in loops like while (c=getch())...

so

#define CHECK_ERR if( (errcode = get_error()) ) {print_error(errcode)}

compiles without warning.
