Hints fore case and if ... else ...

[mumpitzstuff]

It would be nice to have the hint feature for cases (switch) and for if ... else ... constructs in C.

Could you, please, give an example of where you would expect the "hint" to be for "case" statements? I thought of this a while ago and didn't come up with a good place to put it.

Also, Bracketeer already has a hint for "if" and "else" in C. So I'm not sure I understand...

It seems that statements like

if (...)
{
...
}
else
{
...
}

are not recognized by your hint algorithm. It may be a bug?

Our case statements have always this format:

switch (...)
{
case 1:
{
...
}
default:
{
...
}
}

But i agree there are many possibilities to write C code. Another format could be:

switch (...)
{
case 1:
... <no break no hint (such constructs are to dangerous to use in my opinion)>
case 2:
...
break;
default:
...
break;
}

Hmm sry some parts of my comment are removed.

case 1:
{

}

This should be easy to add to your hint algorithm.

For the last example use the breaks to add the hint. The case without break is a really dangerous thing in my opinion and should not be used. Therefore it is a rare case and it is not needed to add a hint here.

Nice idea, I will consider it for the next Bracketeer version
