Sorry for the silly question, but I have some issues with this checkpatch.pl warning.
I mean Documentation/CodingStyle says:
Outside of comments, documentation and except in Kconfig, spaces are never used for indentation, and the above example is deliberately broken.
But checkpatch.pl claims I should align to open parentheses. These two things seem to be contradictory to me. Could somebody clarify this?
leading tabs *followed* by spaces to align parameters to a function are fine
The emacs settings in Documentation/CodingStyle seem to contradict to you, as it is set up to use c-lineup-arglist-tabs-only
but for basic block indentation you never use spaces. so
func(param1, param2);
would be allowed but not
if (something) { if(something else) {
HTH
