I code to a rather strict interpretation of K&R
style, but I use two-column indents instead of eight-
columns, mostly to conserve screen real estate. (And
of course I cuddle my elses!)
Update: Cuddled elses are:
if(foo) {
...
} else {
...
}
whereas perlstyle, IIRC, recommends:
if(foo) {
...
}
else {
...
}
Another thing: I try to keep my line lengths below
72 columns. This keeps it easy to read even when
you're editing it on the server console (don't ask),
with vi in line-numbering mode. (And if a line's
longer than 72 columns, it's probably malformed anyway.)
I used to be vehemently anti-1TBS, citing all the
usual arguments about braces getting lost and code
being cluttered and hard to read. Then I took a
course from a prof who used 1TBS all the time, and it
just clicked. (Sort of like the way I started out
using Emacs, and switched to vi.)
