In this case you use spaces for the parts that shall be lined up and tabs for the rest. Example: class Foo { \tint bar(int a, \t int b); };

  Yes, but you can't tell in your editor if you've got \t int b); or \t\t int b); Because they'll look the same to you, but not to anyone else without 4-space-tabs.

    That is correct. But you do know the indentation rule so you know that the int b only has 1 tab followed by spaces.

    There are editors that have such a feature (for example called "show whitespace" or "show spaces and tabs").
