--remove-braces option introduces compile-time errors when macros are used in following way:
#define MY_MACRO {\
int a = 5;\
}
if (someCondition)
{
MY_MACRO;
}
else
{
MY_MACRO;
}
becomes:
if (someCondition)
MY_MACRO;
else
MY_MACRO;
resulting in C2181: illegal else without matching if (On VS2017, but I suspect this is general problem)
