[Tex/LaTex] Combination of \verb and \texttt

macrosverbatim

Also I read: When should one use \verb and when \texttt

My issue at hand is that I would like to write a little more than just "small pieces" (wording in linked question) of program code, but without having to escape all the special characters. On the other hand, \verb does not have {}-style delimiters, besides being said to have issues with moving arguments.

Is there something I can do such that (sample text follows)

"As a user, do \texttt{if (!(last\_cond \&\& (last\_flags \& (O\_CREATE | O\_EXCL))))}, but as root, do \texttt{if (!(last\_cond \&\& (last\_flags \& (O\_RDONLY))))} until…"

can be written as

"As a user, do \texttt{if (!(last_cond && (last_flags & (O_CREATE | O_EXCL))))}, but as root, do \texttt{if (!(last_cond && (last_flags & (O_RDONLY))))} until…"

edit:
Defining a new command as in \verbdef and having to write "As a user, do \verbdef\demo1{\texttt{if (!(last_cond && (last_flags & (O_CREATE | O_EXCL))))}}\demo1, but as root, do \verbdef\demo2{\texttt{if (!(last_cond && (last_flags & (O_RDONLY))))}}\demo2 until…" does read strangely (in the tex source file).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{basicstyle=\ttfamily\small}
\begin{document}
foo
\lstinline{if (!(last_cond && (last_flags & (O_CREATE | O_EXCL))))}
bar
\end{document}
