In this case because there is no semicolon at the end of the line ;-)

To be honest: It is indeed very difficult to do the proper indentation. In the case of jEdit we have dozens of different modes which all need different indentation. Additionally, many C programmers I know have slightly or completely different indentation styles. For C and C++ the Astyle is 
actually pretty good at doing the indentation and other formattings though...
