henningewiki was not working right after the last meeting15:10
bac[topic] Reduction of negation preferred over "common case first" in if statements? [henninge, jtv]15:10
MootBotNew Topic:  Reduction of negation preferred over "common case first" in if statements? [henninge, jtv]15:10
henningeYes, another little thing15:10
bachenninge, jtv: take it away15:10
jtvok15:10
henningeI just come up with these because they come up in reviews15:10
jtvAs long as I can remember, we've had a rule not to do "if not foo: ... else: ..."15:11
henningeand I just like to know we agree and then put it down in writing.15:11
henningesorry, jtv15:11
jtvno worries, go ahead15:11
henningehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/419873/15:11
MootBotLINK received:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/419873/15:11
bigjoolsjtv: I don't remember that15:11
henningeSo, my question is: do we prefer a style? Should we enforce one?15:11
intellectronicahenninge: no, we shouldn't have a policy on this15:12
jtvbigjools: afaik this is 2007 or older, and not currently documented15:12
henningeintellectronica: +115:12
* henninge thinks "not documented -> not reviewable" ....15:12
henningeThat would be my suggestion.15:12
bigjoolsthere's useful policies and then there's policies for the sake of policy15:13
bigjoolsguess where I think this one falls? :)15:13
henningecool, if no-one objects, I am done.15:13
jtvI'm fine either way, as long as we know where we stand.15:13
sinzuijtv, barry would say style 1 can cause confusion and should be avoided15:13
baci think if both cases can be considered equally likely then testing for the affirmative makes more sense15:13
intellectronicabigjools: +1, but you should have written it "there's policies for the sake of policy and then there's useful policies".15:14
bigjoolslmao15:14
bigjoolscommon case first?15:14
* bigjools runs15:14
gary_poster:-)15:14
henningejtv: my understanding is that we stand nowhere with this - and nobody cares.15:15
henninge;-)15:15
jtvhenninge: seems so.15:15
marshenninge, good synopsis :)15:15
adeuringI'd vote for "common case not last"...15:15
baclacking a policy i'd suggest it is situational and up to the reviewer's discretion about readability15:15
jtvMy personal rule for coding guidelines is "are we willing to make the cleanup effort?"  If not, it's probably not worth adding a rule for either.15:16
jtvBut this one was there before I was a reviewer.  :)15:16
henningebac: I'll put a note in the style guide to think about what you are doing and to have readability in mind.15:17
henningealthough, that is a pretty general advice ...15:17
henninge;)15:17
bachenninge: yes, very general15:17
bacso i think we agree this is really a non-issue and everyone will DTRT15:18
henningecool15:18
henningebac: move on! ;)15:18
bacshall we move on?15:18
jtvIn fact we had a discussion about this once and the conclusion there was: review is not to find mistakes, it's to promote legibility and such.15:18
bac[topic] peanut gallery15:18
MootBotNew Topic:  peanut gallery15:18
bigjoolsjtv!15:18
bacany other burning issues today?15:18
jtvbigjools?15:18
bigjoolsjtv: I would say the exact reverse15:19
jtvbigjools: where were you when I said the exact reverse and found everyone against me?  ;-)15:19
bigjoolsbut anyway, don't wanna start an argument right no15:19
bigjoolsw15:19
bacnothing, then?15:19
jtvbac: guess not15:19
