The only thing worse than code written using The Wrong Brace Style(tm)
-
... is code that is written using a mix of brace styles. For my sins I'm investigating the possibility of porting one of my employer's apps to the BB10 platform; and most of the sample app code they've provided looks like this:
PhotoBomberApp::PhotoBomberApp()
{
// Create a QMLDocument and load it, using build patterns
QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml");qml->setContextProperty("\_photoBomber", this); if (!qml->hasErrors()) { // The application Page is created from QML. Page \*appPage = qml->createRootObject<Page>(); if (appPage) { // Set the application scene. Application::instance()->setScene(appPage); } }}
Some opening braces on their own line; others on the preceding line. **SPEW**[^]

I thought K&R put the function declaration on the previous line too.

I only see K&R. Maybe you need to show a bigger sample.

I came to C/C++ from turbo pascal - so naturally I did C/C++ in the Whitesmiths style ... I still guess that the primary reason for
void foo() {

Invest in a code reformatting tool & rest easy. Of course, if there's multiple devs involved, then you also need to invest the time in applying a standard formatting prior to check in (to avoid the 'every line has been changed' problems of source code comparison.

...I don't see a problem here! Does that make me a bad person?
Well fads they come and fads they go. And God I love that rock and roll! Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss. Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "We worked harder than this!"
That's an implicit endorsement of a brace style I dislike, so yes it does. :doh:

Whitesmith's rules! I never seize to amaze over the triviality of this eternal style format discussion. Who is to say one style is better or worse than another? Is it not more important that the code is A. readable, B. intuitive, C. Bug Free! What I truly detest in coding style is all the code written as if programmers were paid by each line of code (ancient format of reimbursement) and everyone simply tries to fill a load of dead line space whilst appearing smart. This entire theme of discussion is in my years of writing code simply for small talk on coffee breaks and not really adding functionality in my personal opinion.
