I personally hate that, not sure if you are demonstrating how not to do it or
what?
I do
if (whatever) stmt;
or
if (whatever that is more complex) {
stmt;
stmt;
stmt;
}
I also do
if ((whatever is complex) || (or even more complex) ||
(something that wouldn't fit in 80 columns) {
stmt;
stmt;
stmt;
}
I've mapped ^A in vi to be that 4 space indent, for 4 decades.
The
if (whatever)
{
stmt;
}
is, I believe, GNU style and it just sucks. GNU C is awful. But when I
did the df/du/ls -h stuff I wrote it in that style, it's their house,
you abide by their rules. Fun fact, Stallman hated me so much he rewrote
that stuff so I wasn't in their version history.
