The indentation style is a bit -different from standard GNU style, and the existing style should be -maintained and used for new code. +GNU coding standards apply. Indentation follows the result of +invoking GNU indent (as of 2.2.8a) with no arguments. Note that this +uses tabs instead of spaces where possible for leading whitespace, and +assumes that tabs are every 8 columns. Do not attempt to redefine the +location of tab stops. Note also that some indentation does not +follow GNU style. This is a historical accident, and we generally +only clean up whitespace when code is unmaintainable due to whitespace +issues, as fewer changes from zebra lead to easier merges. + +For GNU emacs, use indentation style "gnu". + +For Vim, use the following lines (note that tabs are at 8, and that +softtabstop sets the indentation level): + +set tabstop=8 +set softtabstop=2 +set shiftwidth=2 +set noexpandtab Be particularly careful not to break platforms/protocols that you cannot test. |
