Hi once again,
Sorry to interrupt your work so many times.

I tried this and seems the space is being applied even without this
fix.
I think the spacing check applies this fix already.

if (ERROR("SPACING",
"space required after that close brace '}'\n" . $herecurr) &&
$fix) {
$fixed[$fixlinenr] =~
s/}((?!(?:,|;|\)))\S)/} $1/;
}

So do you think it's okay without that perhaps?

Thanks,
Dwaipayan.
