+----[ Julian Elischer ]--------------------------------------------- | yeah but not a SINGLE person has said to not commit the patch to style(9) | so I'm going to do it later tonight.. | (It doesn't make extra braces MANDATORY but it does ALLOW them.) | | julian | (if this doesn't bring some NEYs I'll be amazed..) Only from people who don't seem to cut code in the real world. Every "Coding Standards" document I've seen requires the braces. I've worked in more than one AS3563/ISO9001 certified environment, none of those had braces as optional. There are only disadvantages to leaving them out. FreeBSD is a large project, it is worked on by a large number of people, some of whom won't hang around to maintain what they've done. Adoption of corporate type standards for code review should not come as a surprise to anyone, and egos aside, shouldn't meet with any resistance. On a parallel note, anyone know what the procedure is for accreditation in the US for ISO9001 (I know it used to be both lengthy and expensive here for AS3563 [which is now ISO9001 for software]). That'd be a nice logo to put on the CD Cover, which might also give FreeBSD some more corporate acceptance (note I didn't say it was meaningful). -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | Milton ACN: 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 |72 Col .Sig PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|Specialist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
