Curly braces

Yep. It's called "Whitesmiths": Indentation style - Wikipedia[^] It's more consistent than Allman.

I distinctly remember a similar post on this site about 12 years ago. The replies were all the same then as they are today. :laugh:

The later, is easier for me to follow.

I reject the premise of the question.

same. in C++ i do the latter. In C# I do the former.

I prefer the first one in javascript/typescript and the second one in C#.

The first one wasn't invented for clarity or ease of reading, but for squeezing more text onto paper.

That would depend on whether you consider the braces to be a part of the content or the header. If your answer is neither you should consider GNU style. ;P

I used to be in the first camp, I had to adapt to MISRA rules and now I prefer the second. It's way easier to find missing braces, move braced code and reindent it, even with powerful syntax highlighting - which is not a given in most IDEs for embedded development.

I have no opinion about braces one way or the other but I have to ask - Why use different styles in different languages? Given it's a choice it seems your personal sense of style would prefer one style all the time. No?

[Jacquers]

I generally just use what's in the specific language's style guide. It makes it easier when different developers work on a project if we stick to those.

A POX upon Tabs.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

[Single Step Debugger]

I'm in this camp

void AFunc()
{
}

And for short/inline statements in this one:

void AFunc() {}

I never mix them.

In the second one, even when an If has only one command to be executed.
