As Daniel <dh at metrohm.ch> pointed me out I was totally wrong.
I must admit I did not know that. Here comes his message which
mention my mistake.
I apologise for the situation.

Hi,
you are fooling yourself. CForm does not alter the expression at all,
it
is only a wrapper that affects printing. You can convince yourself by
changing the output to a string: ToSTring[CForm[expression]]. Then try
to read this back. Now the original expression is no longer available.
