It is impossible to align this nicely with tabs alone. Such alignment is not just an isolated example, but quite common in both the Linux kernel and U-Boot. Grep for a tab followed by a space... >> + if (himport_ex(&env_htab, (char *)default_environment, >> + sizeof(default_environment), '\0', 0, >> + 0, NULL, apply_function) == 0) { >> >> What should be the right indentation? > > In any case it makse no sense to have the 2nd and 3rd line indented > differently, right? They generally shouldn't be different from each other, but that doesn't answer the question of what it should look like. Documentation/CodingStyle calls for something like this: if (himport_ex(&env_htab, (char *)default_environment, sizeof(default_environment), '\0', 0, 0, NULL, apply_function) == 0) { ...but judging by how common it is, many people find this nicer: if (himport_ex(&env_htab, (char *)default_environment, sizeof(default_environment), '\0', 0, 0, NULL, apply_function) == 0) { I vote for allowing it, if anyone's counting. -Scott _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
