That's technically true, but extrememly rare to cause real problems (short of bad intent). It reminds me of people/teams enforcing braces on single-line ifs, because one might add another line someday, forget to add braces, and break the logic. Even when it happens, there should still be tests that catch this.
- Shish2k 3y agoOn the one hand, yes, there should be tests. On the other, `goto fail;` :P Also, adding braces from the start means that adding one new line of code is a one-line patch, instead of a four-line one - I do that for the same reason that I always put trailing commas on my array definitions
- blauditore 3y ago> one new line of code is a one-line patch On the flipside, having three trivial early-return ifs at the beginning of a function will become 9 lines long with braces instead of 6 (or just 3, when doing single-line ifs). Very often, such cases never expand to multiple lines in the future.
