Change Details

Requiring a blank line at the top of a function if there are no local declerations dates to the original style.9 commit (b030a30523649), but I can't find a reference to the original so don't have any idea where it came from. Without context it seems like foolish consistency. Document it as a historic practice and encourage removal in the context of other changes, but not sweeping commits.

Requiring a blank line at the top of a function if there are no local declerations dates to the original style.9 commit (b030a30523649) and was present in the first version of admin/style/style from mckusick@ in 1991. It's certainly consistant to have a blank line after a null-set of variables, but today it's an oddity unique to BSD source code. Document it as a historic practice and encourage removal in the context of other changes, but not sweeping commits.
