There's perfect reason to the semicolon rules in C/C++.


You need a semicolon after a } any time you are working with something that can be instantiated. Otherwise, you don't.

This is to support the following syntax:

struct Foo
{
int member;
} InstanceOfFoo;

InstanceOfFoo.member = 42;


Can you instantiate structs? Check. Classes? Check. Enums? Check. Namespaces? Nope! Therefore, namespace does not need a trailing semicolon. (For that matter, functions and the bodies of code blocks follow the same pattern.)

-edit-
I see now the "after }" you mentioned..
anyway I found a discussion on the do while semicolon:

The 'Banned' status is very misleading with the strike-through, I thought it meant he was unbanned from a previous ban

[s]Red name without strikethrough is reserved for moderator names.[/s] [Edit:] Whoops, that was a previous version of the site. Ignore that.

Heh, yeah, I'd vote for a strikethrough name (normal color) with red Banned tag (no strikethrough).

As for menacing avatars, I almost changed my avatar one of the frames from this to illustrate how I was feeling at the time... nothing was working ha.
