indent -br, -bl options, different number of lines for if (long_conditions) //comment

[Andrei DAMIAN-FEKETE]

Hello,

I've tried to indent (GNU indent 2.2.10, Windows) something like this:

int
main ()
{
  if (StrCmpNI (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa == 0
                || bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb == 2
                || ccccccccccccccccccccccccccs (dddd)
                || eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)) // a comment
  {
    x ();
  }
  if (a > 0) {
    y ();
  }

}

Using -br I've got:
int
main ()
{
  if (StrCmpNI (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa == 0
                || bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb == 2
                || ccccccccccccccccccccccccccs (dddd)
                || eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)) // a comment
  {
    x ();
  }
  if (a > 0) {
    y ();
  }

}

and using -bl -bli0 I've got:
int
main ()
{
  if (StrCmpNI (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa == 0 || bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 
== 2 || ccccccccccccccccccccccccccs (dddd) || 
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee))      // a comment
  {
    x ();
  }
  if (a > 0)
  {
    y ();
  }

}

Also using again the -br option on the "-bl -bli0" output doesn't change the if 
condition (it stays on just one line).

It would be nice to have -bl break the if condition on multiple lines or at 
least keep multiple lines if they are already present (in this case where there 
is a comment following "if").


I'll put here a diff in case the message gets distorted:

Thank you for your time,
Andrei
