Description

the following string will successfully reformat with rusfmt

    let check = code.chars().rev().enumerate().filter(|(i, c)| c.is_digit(10)).try_fold(0u32, |sum, (i, c)| c.to_digit(10).map(|d| sum + if (i + 1) % 2 == 0 { if 2*d > 9 { 2*d - 9} else { 2*d }} else {d})).map_or(false, |sum| sum % 10 == 0);

and this one will not

    code.chars().rev().enumerate().filter(|(i, c)| c.is_digit(10)).try_fold(0u32, |sum, (i, c)| c.to_digit(10).map(|d| if (i + 1) % 2 == 0 { if 2*d > 9 { 2*d - 9} else { 2*d }} else {d} + sum)).map_or(false, |sum| sum % 10 == 0);

the only difference being that sum was moved from the back of the if expression to the front.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two Rust snippets from the issue with rusfmt and compare their formatting behavior. Trace the formatter path handling an if expression used on either side of +; done means both equivalent expressions reformat successfully and regression coverage verifies the behavior.
