Thanks for testing!

In that case I whole-heartedly agree with this coding standard;

Old way			New way

if (x == 0)		if (x == 0)
  a = 1;		  a = 1;
else			else if (A2)
#ifdef A2		  a = 2;
  a = 2;		else
#else			  a = 0;
  a = 0;
#endif

if (x == 0)		if (x == 0)
  a = 1;		  a = 1;
#ifdef A2		else if (A2)
else			  a = 2;
  a = 2;
#endif

if (x == 0)		if (x == 0)
  a = 1;		  a = 1;
#ifdef A2		else if (A2)
else			  a = 2;
  a = 2;		else if (x == 1)
#else			  a = 3;
else if (x == 1)
  a = 3;
#endif

#ifndef A2		if (!A2 && x == 0)
if (x == 0)		  a = 1;
  a = 1;		else
else			  a = 2;
#endif
  a = 2;


Definitely.
