llvm dev - Feb 2012 - [LLVMdev] Coding standard - indentation width

Hi,

 

The coding standard document doesn't mention anything about preferred
indentation width (only not to change per-file and not make massive
re-tabbing diffs), but I swear I've had people complain at me for not using
2 spaces in new files I've committed.

 

Am I misremembering, or is there a preferred tabwidth of 2, and if so where
is it / should it be documented?

 

Cheers,

 

James

It's not documented, but probably every single existing file uses it, so it
would be a headache for single files to start out differently. The question here
is whether a few new files are "a significant body of source".
If you add an entire subproject, that would be a different thing. (E.g. I'm
not sure what convention libc++ follows, but I wouldn't be surprised if it
was different from LLVM/Clang.)
