Documentation/CodingStyle: flesh out if-else examples
There is a missing case for "Chapter 3: Placing Braces and Spaces". We
often know we should not use braces where a single statement. The first
case is:
if (condition)
action();
Another case is:
if (condition)
do_this();
else
do_that();
However, I can not find a description of the second case.
