        If you only concern about the semicolon after if statements,

        autocmd BufEnter *.c match Grp_semi /if\s*(.\+)\s*;/
        highlight Grp_semi guibg=red

        This will highlight the if statement with red background if he put
        semicolon after
        a if statement.


    Except it will also catch things like this:

    if (whatever) something();

    which you almost certainly don't want, and why I didn't suggest this
    kind of approach.

Yes, we can change it to this:

autocmd BufEnter *.c match Grp_semi /if\s*([^)]\+)\s*;/
highlight Grp_semi guibg=red

Which will then not work on something like this:

if ((ch=getchar())==EOF) ;

(or anything with nested parentheses).
