It should be 4 spaces per increment, never two anywhere what I know of. Maybe in error? I use emacs with the following code snippet in my .emacs: ;;; Common C-mode hooks (defun my-c-mode-hook () (setq c-basic-offset 4) (turn-on-font-lock)) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook) Original emacs uses 2 and linux/BSD uses 8. This is something in between. My original intentions for code standard are described in the HACKING file of the repository. (http://git.gpleda.org/?p=gerbv.git;a=blob;f=HACKING;h=a700f7bb6a280a5e38c69ea21829aed1add84bbe;hb=HEAD). When I started to get contributions I was glad to get contributions and did not enforce any coding standard. Anyhow, I'm still more glad for all contributions than for code standard.
