Wow, that is way too close to our standard C style here... although
we use 4 space tabs...
if
(
i
==
0
)
{
foo
(
i
);
bar
(
i
);
}
Although, we only do that for really long lines so they fit within 80ish
characters, or for really complex logical expressions. I didn't like it
at first, but I can see the benefits after having to figure out some
code.
