[naviserver-devel] codestyle

[Zoran V. <zv...@ar...>]

Hi !

I would like to see if we can agree on the style used when
formatting source-code.

What I find very annoying is the usage of the TAB. According
to both AOL and TCL style-guides, the TAB is deprecated.
Now, in the Tcl project, it is still used, which I do not
really understand??

The problem with TAB's is: if you have some other TAB-width
set then 8 spaces, the format looks pretty desperate and difficult
to follow.
OTOH, if you expand TABS to spaces, then normally you can read the
code regardless of your current TAB width.

I would suggest we avoid using TAB's for formatting and use plain
spaces instead. I have setup this in emacs to expand TAB's to
spaces always.

What do you think?
