Enforced braces would have prevented that chain failure. It's that simple. > I'm getting a bit tired of being grouped in with programmers like the goto fail guy Really? You never make mistakes? Or if you do, you just know they're not going to trigger a chain of failures? Side note: What's with the "literals on the left side" obsession? That's an issue compilers started catching 20 years ago, provided you were willing to forego assignments in a conditional - another safety measure that most engineers are more than happy to accept.
