[Qemu-trivial] [PATCH v5 1/2] CODING_STYLE: specify the indent rule for


From: Wei Yang
Subject: [Qemu-trivial] [PATCH v5 1/2] CODING_STYLE: specify the indent rule for multiline code
Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2019 10:01:46 +0800

We didn't specify the indent rule for multiline code here, which may
mislead users. And in current code, the code use various styles.

Add this rule in CODING_STYLE to make sure this is clear to every one.

v5:
   * different rules -> various styles
   * describe function variants separately
   * take struct out
v4:
   * widths -> width
   * add an exception example for function
v3:
   * misleading -> mislead
   * add comma after arg2 in example
v2:
   * rephrase changelog suggested by Eric Blake
     - remove one redundant line
     - fix some awkward grammar

+1.1 Multiline Indent
+
+There are several places where indent is necessary:
+
+ - if/else
+ - while/for
+ - function definition & call
+
+When breaking up a long line to fit within line width, we need a proper indent
+for the following lines.
+
+In case of if/else, while/for, align the secondary lines just after the
+opening parenthesis of the first.
+
+For example:
+
+    if (a == 1 &&
+        b == 2) {
+
+    while (a == 1 &&
+           b == 2) {
+
+In case of function, there are several variants:
+
+    * 4 spaces indent from the beginning
+    * align the secondary lines just after the opening parenthesis of the
+      first
+
+For example:
+
+    do_something(x, y,
+        z);
+
+    do_something(x, y,
+                 z);
+
+    do_something(x, do_another(y,
+                               z);
+
 2. Line width
 
 Lines should be 80 characters; try not to make them longer.
