command substitutions
```sh
foo=$(
bar #inline
) #trailing
```
```sh
foo=$(
bar #inline
) #trailing
```
if clauses
```sh
if foo; then
bar #inline
fi #trailing
```
```sh
if foo; then
bar #inline
fi #trailing
```
Altogether that looks like a weak effort to align with the above inline comment, as it is done for case.
```sh
case $foo in
?) bar;; #inline
esac #trailing
```
```sh
case $foo in
?) bar ;; #inline
esac #trailing
```
Nothing of the sort is being done to loop constructs (for, while and until), for which output is the same as input.
```sh
for foo; do
bar #inline
done #trailing
while foo; do
bar #inline
done #trailing
until foo; do
bar #inline
done #trailing
```
```sh
for foo; do
bar #inline
done #trailing
while foo; do
bar #inline
done #trailing
until foo; do
bar #inline
done #trailing
```
I'm not sure how often trailing comments on these constructs are used in practice, and whether they really are most commonly used for a continuation of the previous line (I'm inclined to doubt that is the case, but I may be biased).
Some extra whitespace is added before trailing comments after
brace groups
```sh { foo #inline } #trailing foo() { bar #inline } #trailing ``` ```sh { foo #inline } #trailing foo() { bar #inline } #trailing ```subshells
```sh ( foo #inline ) #trailing foo() ( bar #inline ) #trailing ``` ```sh ( foo #inline ) #trailing foo() ( bar #inline ) #trailing ```command substitutions
