Syntax-wise, they're the same thing. There's nothing technically wrong with it, since it goes if -> if -> statement.
The first if sees everything in the second if as a single statement, so no braces are required. To my knowledge, this sort of construct is only a problem if there's an else in there. Most compilers will apply the else to the proper branch, but some won't. I think the second one is more readable though, and consistent with the rest of the file's coding. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
