in reply to Re: empty 'else' block
in thread empty 'else' block
I'm not usually a fan of putting semantics in comments, but here I think I might make an exception for:
if(&predicate(...)) { &foo(...); } else { # do nothing }
It's a bit more explicit to some poor maintenance programmer than a lone, apparently useless, semi. Of course, if lone, apparently useless, semis are a coding convention for "do nothing" where you hack, it's okay. :-)
