Re: [Tlf-devel] code indenting?

[Thomas Beierlein]

Hi all,

in meantime I did some checks about the impact of the suggested astyle
settings.

I must confess that I underestimated how many inconsistencies crept in.
The settings below have the smallest impact on the existing code and I
think they are a good start.

I did some statistics:

Total LOC of TLF project: ~36000
Changes: ~6000 lines
Out of these ~5000 are only whitespace changes

For a simple check do a clean checkout of master, apply astyle with the
settings and than do a 'git diff --stat' oder 'git diff -w --stat' for
the numbers. You can reset it with 'git reset --hard' to the starting
point.


If you have objections or comments to the styling rules below, please
respond. Otherwise I will imply the formatting changes around the end of
the coming week.
For the concrete meaning of the single keywords see
