For those wondering, this is what the bible says:
"In either case, we will always indent the statements controlled by the while
by one tab stop (which we have shown as four spaces) so you can see at a glance
which statements are inside the loop. Although C compilers do not care about
how a program looks, proper indentation and spacing are critical in making
programs easy for people to read. We recommend writing only one statement per
line, and using blanks around operators to clarify grouping. The position of
braces is less important, although people hold passionate beliefs.”
Naturally, that was strong motivation for our guidelines. HACKING already
recommends one statement per line, spaces around operators, and 4-level
indentation… and soon will enforce. Ironically, K&R’s 4-char tabstops screw
with / display wrong in other UNIX tools and was the motivation for mixed
tabs+spaces.
Cheers!
