> Why do you want to recalculate the number of spaces before 'that' based on any change to the length of the function name 'connect' from experience ? connect

> Why do you want to recalculate the number of spaces before 'that' based on any change to the length of the function name 'connect' from experience ? connect is a Qt function that dates back to 1995, it's been here for the last 30 years, it'll be there when I retire. Optimizing my experience for "what if connect was renamed" is a big YAGNI. > , and why do you realize you don't want to when it comes to aligning connect with 'foo' to be consistent with this styling instead of indenting priority? I don't understand what you mean there, what would "aligning connect with foo" mean ?

Then that's a bad example since this alignment with preceding line style commits you irregardless of your history with any function. > I don't understand what you mean there, what would "aligning connect with foo" mean ? If you are aligning with lines above you and your coworkers have so many options: void foo(.. connect(.. int foo(.. connect(.. int foo(..) { connect( If you are nesting with fixed indents, then everything is fairly well defined and simple changes to one line don't cause significant reflow.
