Neither are we dogmatic (Cadnetix). We have coding guidelines, but these
do not attempt to dictact the OTBS. When I first joined the graphics
group, I noticed that everyone was using the OTWBS (one true WRONG brace
style); it seems that it had carried over from the dawn of graphics code
(about 4 years ago, for C). Well, being the do-gooder that I am, I
went and indented (1) a couple of modules. Upon discovery of this good
deed, I was asked to show what changes I had made to the modules, via
RCS diff. Uh-oh.
I now use existing style wherever appropriate. Naturally, I use my
vastly superior (-: style when writing new code. BTW, I use:
if (detroit_lions_ever_win){
/*
* This path almost never exercised, but it did happen in 1957.
*/
joyous_celebration = 1;
}
