I used to always get tripped up in embedded code because "==" has precedence over "&" which I do not believe is intuitive to most people.

unsigned int value;
#define BITSET 0x1234

// Wrong: always true if value is odd since BITSET == BITSET is evaluated first
//        which reduces to "(value & 1)"
if (value & BITSET == BITSET) {} // Bits are set

// Right:
if ((value & BITSET) == BITSET) {} // Bits are set
