Hi,
The coding standard document doesn’t mention anything about preferred indentation width (only not to change per-file and not make massive re-tabbing diffs), but I swear I’ve had people complain at me for not using 2 spaces in new files I’ve committed.
Am I misremembering, or is there a preferred tabwidth of 2, and if so where is it / should it be documented?
Cheers,
James
It’s not documented, but probably every single existing file uses it, so it would be a headache for single files to start out differently. The question here is whether a few new files are “a significant body of source”.
If you add an entire subproject, that would be a different thing. (E.g. I’m not sure what convention libc++ follows, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was different from LLVM/Clang.)
