Hey Martin,
I've always applied a line length of 78. A character in the 79th
position can cause Emacs (in certain setups) to display a line
continuation character in position 80, and then nothing on the next
line. Annoying. But trimming columns to 78 keeps within the "80"
column limit.
If you're going to make *many* line-length reflow changes (ie. just
formatting rather than functional), then we tend to make those
separate revisions from functional ones. It is a subjective matter, as
doing a few formatting updates along with a functional change is fine.
Obviously, if your functional change requires reflowing, then that's
totally cool.
I would suggest files other than log.[ch] -- the loggy subsystem is
going to be completely removed over the next six weeks.
Some of the adm_* files could be a good place to start.
And yes: multiple smaller patches is much better than a mother patch.
You'll be able to get feedback as you go, and start to learn more
about style and clarification of the goals, rather than waiting until
"the end" for that info. You'll also be racing time as we make other
changes to the code, and you'll have a hard time finding somebody
wanting to review 2000 lines of pool alterations :-)
Cheers,
-g
