Ktlint removes curly braces from empty companion object

[charlie-mcknight]

This can cause code to not compile. One instance is if you have another class or enum declared below it. It isn't a huge issue though because you probably shouldn't have empty companion objects lying around.

ex.

class Example {
    companion object {}
    enum class ExampleEnum {
        EXAMPLE
    }
}

is formatted to the code below which does not compile.

class Example {
    companion object
    enum class ExampleEnum {
        EXAMPLE
    }
}

Ah thanks for the report. Yes not a big deal since it's pretty obvious what the problem is, but the formatter should probably not make your code stop compiling. :)

Can we override the existing klint rules via configuration?

@ckarthickit you can disable rules globally via an .editorconfig property or --disabled_rules CLI but the rules themselves are generally not configurable.
