Agreed again. And if tabs "messing up" trailing comments is a huge
issue, then don't have trailing comments. Instead of
ptr += sizeof( foo ); // skip past header
use
// skip past header
ptr += sizeof( foo );
and be done with it.
I tend to do that for whole blocks vs individual lines, but hey, if
someone's so traumatised by different tabstops messing up alignment of
comments, the above's an easy fix...
But seriously, if someone uses some weird-ass indentation level like
ts=5 or whatnot, the *first* thing I do after "inheriting" the code is
either play games with ts=## and et/noet and try to get rid of it all
"cleanly", else do a global s&r for spaces and tabify 'em all, then
worry about stragglers and trailing comments later on.
