Syntactic indentation vs alignment (including comments after non-blank, values for struct initialization etc, split lines too). > Hopefully there won't be that many, so there > is just to delete the tabs it added and replace it with spaces. Actually tabs "should" be used for indentation at start of the line, then spaces. "Ideally" :-) I.e., something like <TAB> if (cond && (cond2 || <TAB> _____________cond3)) <TAB> <TAB> do_something(); Underline = space. Perhaps some day... > Exactly!

All tabs converted to spaces = 20% more? "Alignment" tabs converted to spaces? How cares how much more would it take if it's the correct thing. Except that it's not very practical at this point. -- 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/
