Subject: [9fans] Coding layout query
Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2002 11:49:29 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20020308114929.009a27f0@pop3.clear.net.nz> (raw)
Not wishing to start a religious debate here, but I notice that in the
Plan9 source code, the return type of a function is placed on a separate
line from the function name when the function is defined:
int
nurdge(int a)
or even
static
int
nurdge(int a)
whereas in the header file, the return type is on the same line:
int nurdge(int)
It's not a style I've seen before, even, if memory serves, in TPOP, and I
was wondering if it was purely a matter of taste, or whether there was some
perceived benefit to be gained from laying the code out in this way - I
find it rather disconcerting at present.
