You are correct. However in terms of style, I believe the preference is to add a newline. I don't remember the reasoning behind this. But a lot of these style rules are just decided by consensus. If you do a `git grep -w dev_dbg | grep \;$` then it is 12391 places that add a new line and 622 which don't. Adding a newline is the clear winner. regards, dan carpenter
