``++if++`` statements with conditions that are always false have the effect of making blocks of code non-functional. ``++if++`` statements with conditions that are always true are completely redundant, and make the code less readable.

There are three possible causes for the presence of such code:
|
|
|
|
* An if statement was changed during debugging and that debug code has been committed.
|
|
* Some value was left unset.
|
|
* Some logic is not doing what the programmer thought it did.
|
|
|
|
In any of these cases, unconditional ``++if++`` statements should be removed.
