I am out of the loop here. Could you two explain why we need this? I.e. what is wrong with the current style is and what the plan is to change?

If often struggle to properly format function with the soft limit of 80 without being allowed to put the return type on a separate line. So I am not sure what the improvement of this change is.


We are not changing the style here.

Basically we have originally started using this approach (when we discussed the style back with Steffan some years ago):

* prototypes: return type on the same line as the function name (makes the first line a bit longer, but normally is not a big deal). Should the line be too long to make the name fit within the 100chars limit we have, you can still go to a new line, but should really be an exception.

* function definitions: return type on its own line.

Basically it's just a matter of style, not convenience.

Note: this has been like this since a while. Only a few occurrences were not respecting this style (and Frank is fixing those in 1/2).

Cheers,

Arne
