However, this is the Vala standard, and probably what we're adapting, it's
just better to keep things clean and readable with space before
parentheses, besides following the Vala standard, which is always a plus.

public int my_function (string var) {
    int rv = 0; // var declarations

    // code

   return rv; // return has empty line before it.
}

var result = my_function ("hi");
