Coding Style

C

  • indent width is 4, tabs are used for multiples of eight
  • in Emacs:
  (setq c-basic-offset 4)
  (setq-default indent-tabs-mode t) 
  (setq tab-stop-list 
    '(4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 80))
  • in Vim:
  "Number of spaces that a <Tab> in the file counts for while editing
  set tabstop=8
  
  "Number of spaces that a <Tab> counts
  set softtabstop=4
  
  "Number of spaces to use for each step of (auto)indent (Used for <<, >>, ...)
  set shiftwidth=2
  
  "GNU style indentation
  set cinoptions=>4,n-2,{2,^-2,:2,=2,g0,h2,p5,t0,+2,(0,u0,w1,m1
  
  set autoindent
  • this sucks but is the same as RPM
  • indentation style is 'gnu'
  • max line width is 80
