The code follows an indentation convention that is a bit
unusual for C. Opening and closing braces are on
a line by themselves and are indented at the same
level as the block they enclose:
if (someTest)
{
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
}
Tab stops are set to 8. Each block of code is
indented by 4 from the previous block. (In the
vi editor set ts=8 set sw=4)
The coding style whitesmith is close. C-c . to run c-set-style. Choose whitesmith. You can change the indenting amount in cc-mode by doing M-x set-variable and set c-basic-offset to the number of spaces you desire.
You can change the tab stop width using the tab-width variable. M-x set-variable again.
In your .emacs you might want something like the following to make everything happen automatically:
(add-hook c-mode (lambda () (c-set-style "whitesmith") (setq c-basic-offset 4) (setq tab-width 8)))
Good luck!
