January 29, 2012 indent style for D | ||||

Attachments: | Hello! It was mentioned in #D that gdc will probably adapt its code to GNU code style and I wonder, seeing no recemmendation in http://www.d-programming-language.org/dstyle.html in regard to indent-style, can someone shed some light what is recommended practice for it within D community?

Everyone thinks his way is the best.

Some people seem to use that godawful BSD KNF style.
But I've also seen lots of Allman (ANSI)-style code.

Phobos uses Allman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Allman_style But everyone is free to format their code how they like. Personally, I've never understood how anyone can stand anything other than Allman, but to each their own, I suppose. - Jonathan M Davis |

IMHO things are different with indention. Why does Phobos use 4-space indentation? The following article (IMHO) completely covers tabs vs spaces problem: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/TabsAreEvil It shows that tabs (in spite of the article title) are really good and should be used always (and only) for indention. Looks like Allman style doesn't prevent this (if it does, what is the reason?). So: * Such tab using shows respect to a programmer allowing him to configure tab size as he prefer. * Sometimes indention should be changed for a particular using. * Worst of all, sometimes same code is used in different places where different indention levels are expected. * Using spaces guarantee that code will look same in every editor but it is the simplest and not the most convenient way, the code should look _good for every editor user_, not _same_, so it tears down our community. * It's less comfortable to use spaces for indention in every editor I use (at least because spaces allows caret position in the middle of indention and pressing <one of delete one char keys> deletes one space instead of the indention level, so it's easy to accidentally broke indention and use, e.g. 7 instead of 8 spaces). And this isn't only a theory. In practice: * I've never liked 8-chars indention, so I feels myself bad in d-p-l.org sources. Probably I'm not the only one. * I accidentally brake spaces indention sometimes. Probably I'm not the less-trained-in-printing one. * Some time ago a ebook version of d-p-l.org has been created. Walter had to change every 4-spaces indention in examples to 2-spaces indention for convenience reading on small PPC screen. * Now everyone see 2-spaces indented examples in d-p-l.org instead of his, probably, preferred 4-spaces indented. Am I mistaken? If no, am I missing some major spaces advantages? If no, lets use tabs. Perhaps, there is no tool that will convert (convert right, not somehow, see article) tabs<->spaces in D code. |

If no, am I missing some major spaces advantages? If no, lets use tabs. Perhaps, there is no tool that will convert (convert right, not somehow, see article) tabs<->spaces in D code. The problem is lines with mixed tabs and spaces, and different users set their text editors see tabs differently. ie: is your tab-width set to 2, 3, 4, or 8? -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0'; |

D2 style guide should *require* D2 to be edited using a mono-spaced font, and the D2 front-end should enforce this with a "-ms" compiler switch.
