Hi all,
I've read Documentation/CodingStyle and it states to use 8 character tabs.
Reading several USB driver files including drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c, I see that multi-line lists of argument and operands are often aligned on top of each other using a mixture of tabs and spaces. checkpatch doesn't complain about the mixture.
For instance from usb-skeleton.c:
static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface,
const struct usb_device_id *id)
uses two tabs and 6 spaces, not just tabs like:
static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface,
const struct usb_device_id *id)
or
static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface,
const struct usb_device_id *id)
Is a mixture of tabs and spaces acceptable if it enhances readability? If not, which of the tabs-only forms is correct?
Similarly, what about assignment alignment in structs?
Cheers,
Laurence.
