FreeBSD, Linux ... every UNIX kernel codebase ?
- _IsThisRealLife 9y agoThis feels like a partial proxy question for Unix versus non-Unix development. Unix developers are, in my experience, consistently more interested in configuring their IDEs, which underlies many of the arguments for tabs over spaces.
- hn_throwaway_99 9y agoLinux looks like shit with any tab width besides 8. Simple example: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/livepatch/transition.c https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/livepat... Notice there are a couple examples in that code where multiline method calls are meant to line up, and if tabs are not set to 8 they don't line up.
