Because it removes useless indentation :)
This is what they do in the Linux kernel, you tell me which looks better:
a)
if (function1())
goto leave;
if (function2())
goto leave;
if (function3())
goto leave;
if (function4())
goto leave;
good_stuff();
leave:
final_stuff();
or b)
if (!function1()) {
if (!function2()) {
if (!function3()) {
if (!function4()) {
good_stuff();
}
}
}
}
final_stuff();
