Bug 173859 – check-webkit-style complains "multi-line control clauses should use brace" for single line if-statement followed by line with 8 space characters

• Status: NEW
• Component: Tools / Tests

This code ...

if (sorted.size() < minimum)
    return { };

... results in this checker error:

Multi line control clauses should use braces.  [whitespace/braces] [4]

[John Wilander]

I found out why it was complaining. Xcode had indented eight characters, like so:

    if (sorted.size() < minimum)
        return { };
        // Eight space chars here confuses the checker.
