The answer seems easy to me: as much as it's needed to get the best readability. If that means 4 or 2 custom formatted lines, great. Why not? It should be the maintainer's call anyway. It's (s)he who has to work with the code in question most. >> OTOH I think the 80 columns rule should go. > > I have no issue with that. > There should be some limit though. Sure, the max readability should set the limit. Though I would say one shouldn't exceed maybe 132 chars (this is what old VT100 had, and this is also supported on PC since some 8-bit XT-BUS VGA cards). 132 chars also allow for full 80-char "console output text" lines. -- Krzysztof Halasa Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements PIAP Al.
