I'm not saying trying to turn this into "I'm right your wrong" thing,
because it comes down to personal preference I guess, but here is what I was
talking about, taken from Delphi 4 Developers Guide by Steve Teixeira and
Xavier Pacheco.
<SNIP>
OBJECT PASCAL
Parenthesis
There shall never be white space between an open parenthesis and the next
character. Likewise, there shall never be white space between a closed
parenthesis and the previous character. The following example illustrates
incorrect and correct spacing with regard to parentheses:
CallProc( AParameter ); // incorrect
CallProc(AParameter); // correct
Never include extraneous parentheses in a statement. Parentheses should only
be used where required to achieve the intended meaning in source code. The
following examples illustrate incorrect and correct usage:
if (I = 42) then // incorrect - extraneous parentheses
if (I = 42) or (J = 42) then // correct - parentheses required
</SNIP>

I think you are wrong.
The coding style I have used is based on one that is designed to improve the
clarity of coding. I am not a C programmer.
