I'm not sure. We all have more than 80-chars wide displays for years, don't we? The problem is not the number of characters but code which is too complex and which may sometimes have too many levels of indentation. Unfortunately expressing code complexity in terms of line lengths doesn't seem to work at all. The 80-chars limit harms development, it makes the code less readable, sometimes far less readable. I think we should increase length limit to 132 for the whole kernel code. Obviously printk() _output_ etc. should stay at 80. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- 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/
