Because gcc doesn't like that:
error: invalid operands to binary ^
Interesting!
Indeed gcc it's right, operator ^ it's a bitwise operator, not a
logical one. So operands must be booleans (or numerical types in case
of C).
The trick is that operator '!' performs an implicit conversion to
integral on the 'user' and 'group' pointers.
BTW the following (very ugly) works.
if ((int)user ^ (int)group)
