indent wars..

I end up relying on my text's matching bracket highlighter.  If it matches with the wrong bracket or none at all, I missed something ;)

Exactly my point!  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

Everyone read _Code Complete_ by MS Press?  It discusses indent techniques plus standards for loops and if/then structures.  I read it in the early 90's, and it's still around.

allen:
Reading related information . . . now there's a thought :D

mouser:
code complete 2 is out now (updated version of first book) -  i highly recommend it for all programmers.

A sample of my code style...


--- ---extern std::string GetUserName();

const unsigned IterationCount = 1024;

void MyFunction()
{
unsigned myVariable = 42;

// 4-space tab - space indentation is evil.
// Multi-statement loops and if sentences use blocks
for(unsigned i=0; i<IterationCount; i++)
{
TweakSystem(i*2);
PrintOut(i);
}

// Single-statement loop and if sentences don't use blocks
if(GetUserName() == "f0dder")
GiveRootPrivileges();
}

Also, for classes, I never define functions inline in the class block - for member functions that are supposed to be inline, I do define them in the header, but below the class.
