Will this code work?

No, that's still not right. Check out the link Audric posted, but anyway, here's your example:

if(crash) FATAL_ERROR;
else printf("okay");

Just using plain {}, that code would turn into:

if(crash) {/*blah*/};
else printf("okay");

... which obviously isn't right.

And if that would be

#define FATAL_ERROR exit();

It also wouldn't be right, due to the risk of having a:

if(crash) exit();;
else printf("okay");

Don't put the ; in the define.

It compiles.

Doesn't mean sh* with macros.

#define foobar Hello there, you don't know me but I compile! Yay!@@#$%$QWQU

int main() {
  return 0;
}

There is a difference between just defining a macro and actually using it.

Well, I did compile it and did put it in to the code(binary code was generated using the Macro) hence your notes seem to be irrelevant.

Okay, have fun then. It's not like I'm going to have to deal with your messes... at least I hope not. I'll watch out for you on the daily wtf. 8-)
