Rule: IfElseStmtsMustUseBraces

Message

Avoid using 'if...else' statements without curly braces

Description

Avoid using if..else statements without using surrounding braces. If the code formatting or indentation is lost then it becomes difficult to separate the code being controlled from the rest.

Priority

1 (was 3)

Example

// this is OK
if (foo) x++;

// but this is not
if (foo)
    x = x+1;
else
    x = x-1;
