I have to agree with Maarten Litmaath. I suggest that people who care
about layout in their programs should read
Professional Software
Volume II Programming Practice
Henry Ledguard with John Tauer
Addison-Wesley 1987
The use of braces in C is discussed on pages 111 and 117. I use the "comb"
style of layout (Ledgard's preference) because it makes sense in all the
languages I use.
Ledgard is no more God than Henry Spencer, but I need a good reason to
disagree with either of them.
