Our current coding style currently says this: void function(int foo) { bar(); } I suggest we change it to this: void function(int foo) { bar(); } To clarify, this only applies to functions, not to if statements, structs or anything else. This is because the latter is more standard: All of the other projects I've recently worked with (e g Linux kernel, Gnome, FluidSynth) has the opening brace on a separate line. Having coding style similar to other projects allow people such as myself to easier move between projects and focus on what's important: features and fixing bugs, rather than having to remember several different coding styles. Besides, I think our current style is ugly, but I'm not sure that counts as an argument. :-) -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic
