sp_else_brace

Add or remove space between 'else' and '{' if on the same line.

Possible values are ignore, add, remove and force.

Examples

Add

Before:

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

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

Here space is added to the right of else; the sp_brace_else may add space to the left

Remove

Before

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

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