I usually indent this way if expressions exceed the 80 columns limit:

        if (foo___________ &&
            bar___________) {
                doit;
        }
and
        if ((one___________ ||
             one_and_a_half) &&
            two___________) {
                doit;
        }
and
        call(abc_______,
             def___);
and

static int definition(abc_______,
                      def___)
{
...

and I know I'm not the only one.  Yes, this means I indent with tabs and
spaces --- if I wrap within expressions or within lists of function
arguments.  Of course there are always leading tabs before spaces, never
leading spaces.

PS:  Everyone please try to avoid blowing CodingStyle up to a 200 pages
document.  Thanks.
