Bug 27497 – Feature request: cpplint should check for braces - rule 2

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Luciano Wolf]

According to Braces rule 2 of the Webkit coding style guidelines[1]:
"Other braces: place the open brace on the line preceding the code block; place the close brace on its own line."

cpplint doesn't complain about non-compliance with this rule when using the Qt foreach macro, as illustrated below

WRONG CODING STYLE: 

    foreach (AbstractMetaFunction *func, lst)
    {
        qDebug() << "*" << func->ownerClass()->name()
                        << "Private: " << func->isPrivate()
                        << "Empty: " << func->isEmptyFunction();
    }
