There is an "aesthetic" to the kernel code I now realise (after having had it explained) - whilst some of it is no doubt odd looking, most of it is done that way for a reason, and reasonably consistently. But not to everyones taste.
- alecco 18y agoI'm not a style-nazi, any of the basic styles is fine for me (e.g. indent and keep the same style in all source.) My dislikes are more pragmatic, no good comments, packing multiple complex operations in a single line, and not making clear what is what (OK this last bit is style but every single coding style for C out there defines this!) [Again, I'm playing a bit Devil's Advocate as I'm a Linux user myself. There are many things I love from this team.]
