Ian: No problem what so ever... My native style is CLOSE to style(9).. but it often is hard for me to get "all" the little twists. And with SCTP we have 2 other primary developers and a few other contributors that work on the windoz stuff and user space... so we depend on s9indent exclusively.. Being an old-fart its hard to change style... and when emacs does not help me it makes it even worse ;-0 I have noticed over the last few years my style has been evolving closer and closer to style9.. but after 28 years of writing kernel level C code style changes slowly :-0 (old dogs and all that). Actually unless you are looking for excess blank lines, missing "."'s in comments and minor nits... I think I am pretty close to style9.. not that I am perfect (thats why s9indent is a plus ;-D)... I try.. but like all of us I am not perfect by a LONG LONG way (just ask my wife :-D) I will let this hang here for a while.. I have to head up for U of Del for a PHd committee I am on... so I will see if over the next week or so anyone else throws flames out... (I am more concerned about the functioning of the code then the style actually.. but hey I understand some folks are "style nazi's" thats ok... thats probably why s9indent was invented ;-D) R On Dec 13, 2008, at 4:05 AM, Ian Smith wrote: > On Sat, 13 Dec 2008, Peter Jeremy wrote: >> On 2008-Dec-13 13:55:18 +1100, Ian Smith <smithi@nimnet.asn.au> >> wrote: >>> I guess submitting patches for style(9) is considered a suicide >>> method? >> >> Not necessarily but you need to have very good justification for any >> change.
