It's interesting what a mental block this is for me. I work with Chris on a lot of C code. He writes in standard K&R style like you. I prefer George and Dave's approach more or less (I indent 3, put braces on seperate lines, and place the braces at the level of the block indent). Chris grumbles about my "peculiar style" but doesn't have any trouble reading it. I grumble about his style (but not loudly, because he's the one following the standard), but have one HECK of a time following his code without drawing guidelines all over the place. Of course I try to keep in mind that he's doing it by the book and I'm the maverick; it's my responsibility to read his style, not vice versa. But it does make things difficult! I agree with the comment about it being vital that all people on a team use the same or similar styles. I also feel your point about wasted vertical space is valid. I dunno, I realize I'm making work/trouble for myself, but the structure just seems to be more visible to me when the opening and closing braces are in the same column. When the opening brace is at the end of a statement, I get into a "Where the heck does this block start!" mentality (which is admittedly MY problem). But then it goes along so nicely with all my others. 8D Rick
