Yes. It's very annoying that our (well, at least "our" in the DOM-ish parts of the code base) current line wrapping conventions don't come naturally from Eclipse CDT, for example, so I end up doing a lot of formatting manually even though formatting should be something that the IDE does. If we put a lot of effort into standardizing code style, we should use a style that can be taught to Eclipse CDT, XCode, VisualStudio, Emacs, vim, etc. even if that means that we have to make the rules less refined.

(I don't work on the Fennec front end, so maybe I should not care, but it saddens me to see naming conventions that go against the Sun conventions / defaults of every Java IDE there.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
