IIRC some old unix book recommended splitting type declaration, prototype and body on different lines, like this:

    int
    myFunc(char *str, int strlen)
    {
         <body>
    }
with the rationale being that grepping for ^myFunc (or searching for it in vi) would have found the function declaration immediately.

Not sure I like that, anyway.
