Tabs are better, because they allow the programmer to specify the

Spaces are better because they let the author specify the formatting and

And indeed they should used where formatting is important. However,
C/C++ indentation is not of this nature.
It is if you want your comments to stay lined up, and code remain readable.
I don't want to make my comments stay lined up, and code still remains
reabable.
There are many sections of code I write C in *columns*, especially when
making repetitive calls to the same function with different arguments. I
make the arguments line up in a column. printf() is a common example,
that I want the arguments to line up no matter it has no effect on the
output. I indent for readability and the result almost never survives
variable tab interpretation.
Could you please give me a (preferrably widely used) example of
columnizing calls which cross different levels of indentation?
