Yes, some of these styles are too personal and subjective to even try and standardize. And then often even the same person doesn't follow a single convention across his own code. More likely you'd succeed standardizing *religion* than this ...

Actually, I'm not sure if we really gain much by finding consensus for this particular stuff. Most compound conditions only contain upto 3-4 operators/expressions, so most of the styles discussed here would be almost equally readable. And any code that goes beyond 3-4 operators/expressions is probably ugly in many other ways and needs to fix its logic. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
