Are you sure? ;-)

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
   int code = 1;
   if(code /= 0) {
      return 1;
   }
   return 0;
}

[beorn@hactar tester]$ LANG=en gcc ada_not_equal.c 
ada_not_equal.c: In function 'main':
ada_not_equal.c:3: warning: division by zero

That's even without the otherwise indispensable -Wall.

The problem I have most often when I switch languages is that I get =, := 
and == mixed up.
