Your parenthesisation is bad:  in this form, no compiler could
accept it.

printf("%d %d\n", ((int)(a))-((int)(b)), ((int)(a))-(int)(b))) > 1 );
      1		  23   33 32 23   33 32  23   33 32 2   22 210     -1

I'm not suggesting that this is your entire problem; but why don't
you turn on the sm [showmatch] option of vi [which I normally hate],
re-write this line, and try it again?  Then post the results.
