Hi Everyone, I recently noticed that the style checker forces lines to be 77 characters or shorter and not 78 characters. This is presumably caused by the checker not stripping the newline character from the line when calculating the length. Is this intentional? The style guide seems to mandate 78 characters or less.
I¹d also like to know what the reasoning behind 78 characters and why it isn¹t 80 characters. If it¹s about control characters (e.g., Emacs¹s line continuation character), 79 characters should work equally well. Judging by the code in validate() in style.py, the style guide used to mandate 79 characters or less (excluding newline). //Andreas IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
