Re: [Iverilog-devel] On Spaces and Tabs

[Steven W. <st...@in...>]

I'm not a contributor to Steve's C++ code base but I do have to deal 
with LOTS of Verilog code from different sources since I'm a consulting 
engineer. I make my living working on other people's code.

I'm also a VI user (old habits are hard to break.)

That being said - I've seen more unreadable code due to tabs than I can 
tell you.  I've literally had to reformat code by hand to make it 
readable/understandable before I could deal with it.

Looking at Steve's style statement AND Larry's point that it's Steve's 
codebase - I think you have your decision right there.

Keep up the good work guys!
