Обсуждение: Coding guidelines for braces + spaces - link 404's
Hi,
I have been working on a patch for Postgres. I'm curious about the suggested style for braces around if statements - some places don't include braces around an if statement body, if the if statement body is a single line.
The "Coding Conventions" don't contain any advice here (although maybe they should link to the "Developer FAQ"?) https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/source.html
The Postgres Wiki has a bit that says to "See also the Formatting section in the documentation," but that link 404's, so I'm not sure where it is supposed to go.
Thanks,
Kevin

Generally, the braces should be omitted if the body is only a single line. An exception is sometimes made for symmetry if another branch uses more than one line. So if (foo) bar(); but if (foo) { bar(); } else { baz(); qux(); }

Obsolete link, evidently. It should point to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/source-format.html Will fix. regards, tom lane
