Having a style guide is supposed to mean, among other things, that following it gives you "safe harbor". Sigh. Yeah, well even the chief penguin wrangler has occasionally admitted to human imperfections. Not exclusively related to the 0.99 kernel series, either ... ;) I approve in particular of that location: beginning of line, where they aren't masking the intent of the condition from a casual scan. If there's a "right" place, that's it. In particular, if you see lots of "&&" or "||" neatly lined up it helps you understand something about when the conditional's body will execute without needing to read to the end of every line. Yeah, nobody likes style nazis. On the other hand, it's rather unusual to be the target of style nazism for actually following the style guide!! You'd think that maybe the folk objecting to that style guide might maybe choose a more direct way to address their particular frustrations, eh? :) - Dave -
