Even if indent watches on to small coding style emenets still I don't see
why using this tool isn't one of the current ement of release procedure
(?).
indent isn't perfect, _especially_ where C99 comes into the picture.
Again: is in this case "isn't perfect" mean "it does not make all what we
want" ? If yes still I don't see why not use indent + some other tool or
if you will show real example where it does something badady (like now
for checking code syntax is used compiler and some other tools like
sparse).
And running indent across the tree pre-release would (a) create a ton of
noise before each release, and (b) undo perfectly valid, readable formatting.
Committing all this "noise" will plug all this thing and allow reve most
of content Documentation/CodingStyle document.
Is it not wort stop all questions/discuss/flames on this subject ?
Again: using indent mainly will mean only one time massive changes. After
this ident can be runed for example by Linus just before make release and/or
partial release.
scripts/Lindent exists and gets used, but it is not perfect.
Again: anywhere are listed/was posted list of "not perfect" examples ?
And/or: what does it mean in this case "not perfect" ? Show this for
allow start work on fix indent by other people (if all cases will be resul
of some bugs in this tool).
