I always brace, just because a one-line if/else statement will always turn into a block given enough time. In this case, it's not my code -- just a sufficiently deeply nested example. Although, now that you mention it, I think it is a macro. I think I'll check it out tomorrow...

Shouldn't matter, if the macro writer knew what they were doing. Code: #define TXT_Printf(X,Y...) do { stmt; stmt; stmt; } while (0) If the macro is defined in such a way that it doesn't act as a single statement, then IMO the definition is at fault, not the lack of braces at the use site.

FWIW, I'm an "always put the braces" guy, but I'm not "religious" about it toward other programmers. _________________________ -Jeff Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

Agreed; I just had to fix up a couple of macros in our codebase here. Not because anyone had used them where they could break, but because they're just Wrong(tm). _________________________ -- roger
