But there is an associated cost. With the C90 rules, I know where to look for local variable declarations; they're right at the start of a block (hopefully) seperated by a blank line from the actual code. So I waste less time reading the code. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
