I looked at some older X server code (X11R1) and found that it used this form:

        if ()
        {
        }
        else
        {
        }

almost exclusively, except for do, which was done as:

        do {
        } while();

Even switch shows a marked preference for this form:

        switch ()
        {
        case ..:
        }

However, about 1/3 of the switch cases use

        switch () {

instead.

What I can't figure out is how to get indent to format declarations
the way the original X server mi code did:

        static void
        miComputeClips (pParent, pScreen, universe)
            register WindowPtr  pParent;
            register ScreenPtr  pScreen;
            register RegionPtr  universe;
        {
            RegionPtr           childUniverse;
            register WindowPtr  pChild;
            int                 oldVis;
            BoxPtr              borderSize;

All of the names are nicely lined up. Here's another longer one (the
code is completely broken, of course, as it doesn't follow X pixelization
rules, but...):

        void
        miFillSppPoly(dst, pgc, count, ptsIn, xTrans, yTrans)
            DrawablePtr         dst;
            GCPtr               pgc;
            int                 count;          /* number of points */
            SppPointPtr         ptsIn;          /* the points */
            int                 xTrans, yTrans; /* Translate each point by this 
*/
        {
            double              xl, xr,         /* x vals of left and right 
edges */
                                ml,             /* left edge slope */
                                mr,             /* right edge slope */
                                dy,             /* delta y */
                                i;              /* loop counter */
            int                 y,              /* current scanline */
                                j,
                                imin,           /* index of vertex with 
smallest y */
                                ymin,           /* y-extents of polygon */
                                ymax,
                                *width,
                                *FirstWidth,    /* output buffer */
                                *Marked;        /* set if this vertex has been 
used */
            register int        left, right,    /* indices to first endpoints */
                                nextleft,
                                nextright;      /* indices to second endpoints 
*/
            DDXPointPtr         ptsOut,
                                FirstPoint;     /* output buffer */
            double              ceil();
