@chris You're more likely to accidentally enter one and get compiler warnings about them rather than find real examples, yes.

Most likely the '?' is the ternary operator. Its grammar is:
RESULT = (COND) ? (STATEMEN IF TRUE) : (STATEMENT IF FALSE)
It is a nice shorthand for the typical if-else statement:
if (COND) {
RESULT = (STATEMENT IF TRUE);
} else {
RESULT = (STATEMENT IF FALSE);
as it can usually fit on one line and can improve readability.
Some answers here refer to a trigraph, which is relevant to the C preprocessor. Take a look at this really dumb program, trigraphs.c:
# /* preprocessor will remove single hash symbols and this comment */
int main()
{
char *t = "??=";
char *p = "??/"";
char *s = "??'";
??(, ??), ??! ??<, ??>, ??-
return 0;
}
invoking only the c preprocessor by running gcc -E -trigraphs trigraph.c the output is
int main()
{
char *t = "#"
char *p = """;
char *s = "^";
[, ], | {, }, ~
return 0;
}
Hopefully that clarifies a little bit what a trigraphs are, and what a '?' "means" in C.

Most likely the '?' is the ternary operator. Its grammar is:
RESULT = (COND) ? (STATEMEN IF TRUE) : (STATEMENT IF FALSE)
It is a nice shorthand for the typical if-else statement:
if (COND) {
RESULT = (STATEMENT IF TRUE);
} else {
RESULT = (STATEMENT IF FALSE);
as it can usually fit on one line and can improve readability.
Some answers here refer to a trigraph, which is relevant to the C preprocessor. Take a look at this really dumb program, trigraphs.c:
# /* preprocessor will remove single hash symbols and this comment */
int main()
{
char *t = "??=";
char *p = "??/"";
char *s = "??'";
??(, ??), ??! ??<, ??>, ??-
return 0;
}
invoking only the c preprocessor by running gcc -E -trigraphs trigraph.c the output is
int main()
{
char *t = "#"
char *p = """;
char *s = "^";
[, ], | {, }, ~
return 0;
}
Hopefully that clarifies a little bit what a trigraphs are, and what a '?' "means" in C.

Could you give us a contextual example of where you're seeing the '?'?

@bitcrazed: Just curious: what other use than the ternary operator are you thinking of?
– chris

@chris it's also (in seriously old code) part of a trigraph, as Benoit beat me to answering.

@bitcrazed: I read about those, never seen them in actual code though. Not even in really old code ;)

@chris You're more likely to accidentally enter one and get compiler warnings about them rather than find real examples, yes.
