Bug ID: 66220 Summary: -Wmisleading-indentation false/inconsistent warning Product: gcc Version: 6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: sirl at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 35578 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=35578&action=edit Testcase to reproduce The following indenting style generates a false warning: int test1(int v) { int res = 28; if (v == 2) { res = 27; } else { res = 18; } return res; } test-indent.c: In function 'test1': test-indent.c:13:5: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation] return res; ^ test-indent.c:9:7: note: ...this 'else' clause, but it is not } else ^ Even though I don't like this style, I don't think it's misleading. If you change the 'else' to 'else if ()' the warning goes away, that's why think it's at least inconsistent.
