Wrong indentation which leads to segfault in sc/source/ui/docshell/docfunc.cxx

[John LeMoyne Castle]

Julien, 

Looks to me like a very nice catch ... 

Here is the version as of 2011.06.15 showing braces on the for loops in both
then and else blocks...

   3757                     if (bAdj)

The next version (2011.07.05) 
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/docshell/docfunc.cxx?r=2b88f6d32f572792597ccbb15276b9db52db7d10
is a commit labelled "change remaining manual loops to
ScMarkData::iterator " and the braces disappear on just one of the
loops.  Because the braces were once there and, especially because the else
block has ~ same action within the braces, I say that they should definitely
come back.  Even though, I am not at all clear what this code is doing
(whilst autoformatting selected cells in Calc)... this is an obvious oopsie
within a greater code cleanup that should be corrected.  

This is not fdo# 47466 --  that crash gets close but doesn't quite get to
this code: that non-reproducible crash occurred inside the AutoFormat
function called just above the missing braces.

After some more looking at the code, it appears to be applying widths and
heights... Some testing shows that if one selects a tabular area and apply a
non-default width and height (Format->Rows/Columns->Height/Width) then and
uncheck AutoFormat Width and Height under AutoFormat... -> More.  Doing the
AutoFormat then forgets the width (doesn't loop) but not the height (still
loops).  

The block of code in question starts to look like maybe it is fix code that
corrects an overactive AutoFormat function called just above.  

This here bug  --  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51524
Shows similar loss-of-width behavior in collapse/uncollapse (as opposed to
straight up AutoFormat)

There are also several reports of loss of height information (including
self-healing upon edit) - most of them are closed &/or related to file
open/close.  Maybe this block of W/H fix code is missing elsewhere, maybe it
is not needed here anymore, maybe the open & save fix the values better than
this now, maybe this simply is the width/height portion of the AutoFormat
... hmmmm 
 
I will check to see if inserting braces in the code fixes whatever
loss-of-width/height behavior that I can  reproduce or find.  

My 2cents... and now a couple more: 

I note that, for all its type mushiness, BASIC will not allow this kind of
mistake.  The then-clause must either be all on one line (can do IF test
THEN StmtA : StmtB : StmtC) and a multi-line then-clause must be terminated
with End If or Else. 

Julien, I think you should get the patch credit - this is your find.  
However, if it will help you continue to run cppchecks and find more of
these interesting puzzles, I would be happy to patch a pair of braces for
you and mark the appropriate bugs as resolved by you ;-D
 
Sweet catch, 
LeMoyne
