"Expected" by who? If you're used to running on a terminal which is 100+ columns wide then 80 seems rather archaic, in the same way that 25 lines/screen seems archaic. The point being, 80 cols/line is a historical convention, not necessarily an "expectation." Quote: The question acturally is: is "" necessary? If it is not, why may C sources use it? They often use it macros, where it is needed, but it is not needed in other contexts and may cause an error, depending on your compiler. Once, for example, i had to edit my local mod_jk sources because they used this and my compiler wouldn't accept it. Quote: Question2: Many function defination is longer than 80 columns, so I need to split them this way: You don't /need/ to split them at all. You /feel compelled/ to split them. Quote: The question is that how can I deal with it? Would anyone give me some suggestions? Stop limiting yourself to historical conventions and code however feels right for you . -- ----- stephan beal Registered Linux User #71917 http://counter.li.org I speak for myself, not my employer.
