Indeed. Unfortunately it is orthogonal to the line length limit. We should limit the nesting level, though I think there is no universally good value. What is good for one case (a function with a short multi-level if/for/etc) is bad for another (a long switch() where any added complexity makes it unparseable). So I think it just have to meet the author's and reviewers' taste. We already depend on this. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
