If you only concern about the semicolon after if statements,
you can try add following to your vimrc file:

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
