Your words: i think *trying* to stick to 80 wide is good. I think it's good too. And it's not scaling up. You have to fit in 80 columns, but there are exceptions. Automatic tools will not allow that exceptions. The most enlightenment email thread about this issue I've ever read is: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2009/11/12/4507182 > it's not a magic number invented for efl coding. I know, but imho people get the rule of 80-char too strict and forget its intent (see what Linus said on that thread). I'm all for warnings, so people will think better about that chunk, not just reformatting.
