This line exceeds 80 columns only because it uses very long identifiers (30+ chars). Anything that uses these very long names is going to be silly looking when forced to use 80 column line length maximums. Basically, it's OK as it is and if you really want to change it for any reason the other style to use is to have the return value on a separate line like: unsigned int bcm2836_audio_retrieve_buffers(struct bcm2835_also_stream *alsa_stream); Even so, that's not a good change either. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
