Hi everyone! One nit I have about C-code is that I think there should be a space after commas and semicolons. The attached file adds a new test to the coding standards suite and searches for places where a comma or semicolon is not followed by a space if it does not appear at the end of a line. Is this an ok test to add? Are we at least reasonably happy that this is a good idea and will help the readability of the code? If there are no complaints, I'll commit the test after the release on Tuesday and then start mopping up any instances. If this is an ok test and would be nice to have before the release then somebody please say and I'll get stuck in earlier. I've written the test to be extendable to other operators such as +, -, * / ++, -- etc, so once I get around to it, I can add tests for spacing around these operators later. Paul
