... for the last vestiges of the old Republic have been swept away. My legacy C++ code was written in K&R brace style, as the gods intended. I write my C# using the vertical brace Allman[^] style, thereby appeasing those gods. The last week or so I've been doing significant work in the legacy code, and I can't stand it anymore. I've written a VS macro(*) to reformat K&R to vertical braces Allman form. (*) Yes, I know that VS can reformat code for you. The built-in stuff in VS2008 is pretty lame.

I believe one of the reasons K&R was popular, was that it saves vertical space, and therefore paper when you print your code. But how often do you print code these days? I cannot remember the last time I needed a hard copy of my code.
I print my code, that's part of why I use so much vertical space. Room for notes, underlining, circling, etc.

Dave KreskowiakHmm. Did a quick Wikipedia check; I'm calling 'Allman style' 'vertical braces'. Apparently I'm already nuts.

Yes, but ... tabs or spaces ?
Tabs originally, now spaces. The group couldn't agree on a tab size :rolleyes: .

The more modern concern is ability to maximize the amount of code on a power point slide. [... to make a tangential point, the 'print' aspect is also the reason to use spaces and not tabs.]

On rare occasions I will still print a page or two of code when I'm refactoring C++. That's never necessary in C#, because the refactoring tools are so much better.

Ah, 'tis me leg you be pullin' there laddie. We all be knowin' that the only way to make managed code go faster be to whip the horse harder.
