I don't know which form is better suited to the goal of well maintainable code --- the compact, easy to read, winning guideline, or the comprehensive norm.
Bah, it's a slippery slope. Too little guidelines and we end up people submitting code that is "obviously" violating Linux coding standards on the basis of that it's not forbidden by Documentation/CodingStyle. And with too much detail, we end up with something that nobody wants to read let alone follow. So what CodingStyle should say, really, is that maintainers have different preference and you're usually better off following them than fighting against them ;-). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
