[Filecaddy-developers] Major source change...

[Matthew B. <mb...@ky...>]

Well, hopefully this won't cause too much trouble... I've re-run all the
.c and .h source through astyle.

	astyle --style=kr --indent=tab=2 -S *.c *.h

Update before it's too late ^_^;  The reason for this is I'm putting
together a code standard, and decided that tabs aren't that bad (they
can be whatever size -you- want them to be ;)

Whoa!!!!! Back the truck up. Tabs are *very* bad. Not every editor lets you
choose tab width and it's not always convenient for people to change their
editor configuration every time they want to edit the FileCaddy source code.

This is a religious issue for me so as long as Kopsis is associated with
FileCaddy the source will *not* use tabs for indenting! I initially ran
everything through astyle to remove tabs for a reason.

In the future, any "accross the board" changes like this need to be
discussed on the mailing list before they are made and committed to CVS.

Oh my.  Alrighty then.  How would you recommend we revert?  Just do a
astyle --style=kr -s2 --convert-tabs to get it back, or do some CVS
trickery?  I've investigated both and it seems it would be easier to do
the astyle method.

Tabs are religious to you, opening braces are to me.  Still writing...
arg..

Of course.  It won't happen again :(

Trickery and version control should never be used in the same sentence :)
The right way to "back out" the change is to not back it out at all, just
run everything through astyle again and commit a new rev.

Opening braces? Do you mean consistent use or where they're located? I like
K&R because it saves screen real estate and because I've been using it for
the last 17 years, but if you'd rather see opening braces on their own line
(Allman style), I can live with that. Whitesmith style (opening brace on new
line *and* indented to match the enclosed block) kinda drives me nuts though
and gnu style (indent the opening brace one level and then indent the
enclosed block another level) is almost as annoying :) In fact when it comes
to the GNU C style guide I think Torvalds had the right idea ... 

"First off, I'd suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and
NOT read it. Burn them, it's a great symbolic gesture."
