From: Shyouhei Urabe Date: 2011-07-18T09:41:02+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:38151] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #5034] C Source Code formatting Issue #5034 has been updated by Shyouhei Urabe. Ilias you're challenging not only the ruby community but also the BSD kernel hackers, where they also use 4-space and tabs mixed (google "BSD KNF"). So if you've never seen this, you are just... innocent. Indentation is a holly war. You have your religion. We have ours. I know you are frustrated but, sorry we don't want to change it. > * The C source quality is low, it's a fact Show us scientific (or at least statistical) evidence for the "fact" you are talking about. > * people have problems with the tab-8/space-4, (see the sources) > * ignoring this is blindness - it's a fact A religion cannot last without a blind love. > * using automations to produce an inconsistency is insane, it's a fact. Just use a better editor. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5034: C Source Code formatting http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5034 Author: Lazaridis Ilias Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Project Target version: ruby -v: - =begin The C sources use tab-4, tab-8 and spaces intermixed. The tab-8 do not display correctly in several tools (displayed as tab-4). The suggestion is that the use of tab8 is disallowed (two tab-4 instead of one tab-8).
