This is the crux of all interminable coding style discussions. There is no objectively best coding style. Pick one, stick to it. That's all that matters. Linux happens to have a particular coding style, GNU has another. When I hack Linux code I use one style, when I hack GNU coee I use another. Arguing about it is a waste of time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
