For the record --- I just checked, and pgindent will not mess up code like
if (condition)
/* comment here */
do_something();
at least not as long as the comment is short enough for one line.
(If it's a multiline comment, it seems to want to put a blank line
in front of it, which is not very nice in this context.)
Visually, however, I think this is better off with braces because
it *looks* like a multi-line if-block. The braces also make it
clear that your intent was not, say,
while (some-mutable-condition)
/* skip */ ;
do_something_else();
