Message: [QUOTE="Richard Heathfield, post: 1688894"] Yes, precisely. Well, not quite as much whitespace. I'd prefer: if(0 != x) { y(); } That doesn't surprise me, but I must disagree with you. That's a negative description. Here's a positive one to balance: it emphasises the logical structure of the code. No, the macro isn't the problem. People are the problem. They /will/ keep turning this: if(w != x) y(); into this: if(w != x) y(); z(); and then wondering why z() is called more often than they expected. (Utter foolishness, I know.) No, I'm perfectly happy with my bracing style, thanks - even if you disagree with it. There are certain rather obvious uses for macros. (Bit-twiddling is one. Wrapping __FILE__ and __LINE__ is another.) [/QUOTE]
