Barry and Victor prefer moving a brace on a new line in all multiline conditional cases. I think that it should be done only when the condition continuation lines and the following block of the code have the same indentation (as in the example above), and the following code is enough readable:

if (PyErrWarnFormat(PyExcDeprecationWarning, 1, "invalid escape sequence '\%c'", *firstinvalidescape) < 0) { PyDECREF(result); return NULL; } What other core developers think about this?

Wow, this discussion takes me back. Glad I don't have to check out comp.lang.c to get my brace placement fix.
