I like to keep all my code to 80 columns or less. I have plenty of screen real
|
|
estate, but enjoy 80 columns so that I can have multiple code windows open side
|
|
to side and not be plagued by the ugly auto-wrapping of a text editor.
|
|
|
|
If you don't oblige me, I will fix any patch you submit to abide 80 columns.
|
|
|
|
Note that this style restriction does not preclude gofmt, but introduces a few
|
|
peculiarities. The first is that gofmt will occasionally add spacing (typically
|
|
to comments) that ends up going over 80 columns. Either shorten the comment or
|
|
put it on its own line.
|
|
|
|
The second and more common hiccup is when a function definition extends beyond
|
|
80 columns. If one adds line breaks to keep it below 80 columns, gofmt will
|
|
indent all subsequent lines in a function definition to the same indentation
|
|
level of the function body. This results in a less-than-ideal separation
|
|
between function definition and function body. To remedy this, simply add a
|
|
line break like so:
|
|
|
|
func RestackWindowExtra(xu *xgbutil.XUtil, win xproto.Window, stackMode int,
|
|
sibling xproto.Window, source int) error {
|
|
|
|
return ClientEvent(xu, win, "_NET_RESTACK_WINDOW", source, int(sibling),
|
|
stackMode)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Something similar should also be applied to long 'if' or 'for' conditionals,
|
|
although it would probably be preferrable to break up the conditional to
|
|
smaller chunks with a few helper variables.
