You will find your code easier to read if you pick a consistent indentation style and stick to it. What exactly you pick, hanging vs inline braces, etc doesn't so much matter as long as the indent is in the range 2-4 spaces and the style is consistent. If you do that then it is possible to see the logical structure of the code at a glance, which greatly simplifies understanding it.

Also the better way to do the above is to have a logging function that you pass messages to. By default it would do nothing, but turn on a flag and you get a useful debugging trace out...
