Hello list. Maybe this is my fault that I have not paid enogh attention to some of the style discussions.
But I have stopped to regularily print out code before working on it, and my screen can easily support 1000-1200 pixel wide edit windows. That is 120-140 characters before line wrapping. So why this totally idiotic requirement on 72-80 columns ???? My punched card writer is brokens so it does not really care any longer. And IMHO this breaking up of single commands that fit into 120-140 into a lot of shorter lines does neither improve readibility or stability or code quality. And all those formatting rewrites does make code comprisons very difficult. I would like to se a situation where code quality is not equivalent to whitespace handling and code is routinely truncated to 80 char columns ( we did that in the 80/90ties because equipment did not support any longer lines) , but actual analysis of code structure and performance. That might motivate me to once more take a more active part in OpenOCD development. Happy hacking.
