CodingStyle: Document the exception of not splitting user-visible strings, for grepping

2011-08-06T18:59:07Z

Patch reviewers now recommend not splitting long user-visible strings, such as printk messages, even if they exceed 80 columns. This avoids breaking grep. However, that recommendation did not actually appear anywhere in Documentation/CodingStyle. See, for example, the thread at http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c1312215262.11635.15.camel%40Joe%2dLaptop%3e Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation: update CodingStyle memory allocators

2011-07-06T20:17:51Z

The list of available general purpose memory allocators in Documentation/CodingStyle chapter 14 is incomplete. This patch adds the missing vzalloc() to the list. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation/CodingStyle: flesh out if-else examples

2011-03-23T00:44:16Z

There is a missing case for "Chapter 3: Placing Braces and Spaces". We often know we should not use braces where a single statement. The first case is: if (condition) action(); Another case is: if (condition) do_this(); else do_that(); However, I can not find a description of the second case.

Documentation: update header filename in CodingStyle

pr_info() and pr_debug() are in linux/printk.h, not linux/kernel.h. Last updated is unnecessary, we have git for that. Signed-off-by: Roland Kammerer Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Acked-by: Harry Wei Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fix emacs indenting howto filename expansion

2009-01-30T02:19:29Z

I don't think emacs understands tilde expansion, so use "expand-file-name" to do that. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation: update CodingStyle tips for Emacs users

2009-01-30T02:19:29Z

With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed by the Emacs cc-mode.

CodingStyle: relax the 80-cole rule

2007-10-17T15:42:55Z

I would suggest this change to make CodingStyle properly reflect the style used by the kernel, rather than the current wording which is wishful thinking and misleading, and comes from the same school of thought that gets off on prescriptive grammar, latin and comp.std.c Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
