As far as indentation goes, I'm with Christian. Spaces should be used for
spacing within lines. I've always liked lining up variable initalization's or a
lot of variable assignments as it makes things easier to see IMHO.
Braces on the other hand, I've always been partial to:
f()
{
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
some_var = "abc";
some_other_var = "xyz";
i = 5;
}
}
But I don't care so much about the braces as I do about the indentation. Tabs
are easy to set to personal preferences without messing up someone else's view
of things.
