nl_if_brace

Add or remove newline between 'if' and '{'.

Possible values are ignore, add, remove and force.

Note:

• one-line expression gets edited by default; there is nl_if_leave_one_liners option to change this behavior
• the else part is not affected; there is similar option nl_else_brace to control this

Examples

Add

Before:

// One-line if
if (x<15) y=30;

// Single if
if (x<5) {
    std::cout << "x is less than 5" << '\n';
}

// if with else
if (x<y) {
    std::cout << "Also x is less than " << y << '\n';
}
else
{
    std::cout << "Also x is more (or equal) than " << y << '\n';
}

After

// One-line if
if (x<15)
    y=30;

// Single if
if (x<5)
{
    std::cout << "x is less than 5" << '\n';
}

// if with else
if (x<y)
{
    std::cout << "Also x is less than " << y << '\n';
}
else
{
    std::cout << "Also x is more (or equal) than " << y << '\n';
}

Remove

Before

if (x<5)
{
    std::cout << "x is less than 5" << '\n';
}

After

if (x<y) {
    std::cout << "Also x is less than " << y << '\n';
}
