The style I use for generated code is like this:

 I've been known to do this:
    if (case_ineligible_for_switch) {
     // ...
   } else switch (state_variable) {
     // ...
   }
 or
    if (case_not_requiring_loop) {
     // ...
   } else for (;;) {
     // ...
   }
 and I might even have historically perpetrated something like:
    if (case_not_requiring_loop) {
     // ...
   } else if (case_requiring_loop) for (;;) {
     // ...
   } else {
     // ...
   }

I like the brace on its own line.  It visually separates the condidition from the statement.
How do people format long and complex conditions, given that you're trying not to a much over 80 columns?
