Two issues:
* "In this patch," is redundant.
* "it is brief and to the point" are equally applicable to both
styles, so that is not a *reason* to choose one over the other.
If a condition were *not* brief and to the point, then a rewrite to
the latter style will make the resulting code worse:
if (a very complex condition
that potentially have to consume a
lot of brain-cycles to understand) {
has_that_condition = 1;
}
is a lot easier to extend than
has_that_condition = (a very complex condition
that potentially have to consume a
lot of brain-cycles to understand);
because it is a lot more likely that we would need to later extend
such a complex condition is more likely than a simple singleton
condition, and we could end up with
if (a very complex condition
that potentially have to consume a
lot of brain-cycles to understand) {
futher computation to check if
the condition really holds
will be added here later
if (does that condition really hold true?)
has_that_condition = 1;
}
which may be harder to express in the latter form.
In other words, "it is brief and to the point" merely _allows_ these
statements to be expressed in the latter form; it does not say
anything about which is better between the former and the latter.
