Use spaces instead of tabs

[Edward Bishop]

I noticed, because the indentation was all wrong in my editor,
that some of your source code uses tabs instead of spaces.
I recommend spaces instead of tabs. Most editors/IDEs can be
configured to do that.

I strongly support this idea!

It's not impossible to do, but extra work for us to police this all the time. I suggest piping the source through "expand -t8". That will do the job nicely

Also, for Visual Studio, you can set the indent level to 4, and leave the tab setting at 8, and the source will display correctly.

Cheers,

Michi.

Hi Michi,

My current project uses source from multiple sources, including Ice. It doesn't make sense for me to change my IDE settings depending on where I am in the call stack!

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "police all the time". It's your source code, presumably you can keep it TAB-free!

All the best,
Edward

Please see this thread. (I don't know yet when we will switch--it's not exactly a high priority issue...)

That's great! Just to be clear though, it isn't just the generated code that I have trouble reading (in fact I don't expect that to be readable), it is the Ice source code itself.

All the best,
Edward
