sorry, i dont want anyone to change his own coding style, but
i feel a little misunderstood.
If code should be set in stone, there is no other way than using
spaces, and only spaces.

there is no thing like 2 space tabs!
a tab is a tab and ist rendered most times on a multiple of eight
colums (remember old typewriters).
If tabs were used only for indentation, (only at the start of a line)
nothing gets confused when changing the rendering width.
Wrapping is a complete other thing, that could be done on column
boundary or by word wrapping... .
Anyway, half of fltk sources are already longer than 80 characters
try: wc -L *.c*
If you are stingy with horizontal space you are free to set the tab
rendering width to 2 without detroying any formatting. Or use
most instead of less, or...
Looking at some long lines in code, these looks like:
static pascal OSStatus carbonDispatchHandler( EventHandlerCallRef
nextHandler, EventRef event, void *userData )
ret = CallNextEventHandler( nextHandler, event ); // let the OS
handle the activation, but continue to get a click-through effect
ret = InstallEventHandler( target, dispatchHandler,
GetEventTypeCount(dispatchEvents), dispatchEvents, 0, 0L );
AEInstallEventHandler( kCoreEventClass, kAEQuitApplication,
NewAEEventHandlerUPP((AEEventHandlerProcPtr)QuitAppleEventHandler), 0,
false );
None of them would fit into 80 columns, even without indentation. Only
way to keep source lines short is to break them up. eg.:
AEInstallEventHandler( kCoreEventClass
, kAEQuitApplication
, NewAEEventHandlerUPP(
(AEEventHandlerProcPtr)QuitAppleEventHandler)
, 0
, false );
or:
static void
getsyscolor(const char *key1, const char* key2, const char *arg, const
char *defarg, void (*func)(uchar,uchar,uchar))
{...
static void getsyscolor(const char *key1
, const char* key2
, const char *arg
, const char *defarg
, void (*func)(uchar,uchar,uchar))
{
I hope that gets it clear.
