What coding style should be used?

[Goswin von Brederlow <goswin-v-b@web.de>]

Hi,

as you might have seen from my other mails I'm working on mutliarch
for dpkg. So I've patched quite a few of the source files and looked
at more. Unfortuanetly the coding style is inconsistent. Which one
should be used?

Indentation
===========

void foo() {
  int bla;
};

or

void foo() {
	int bla;
};


Assignment
==========

bla= 17;

or

bla = 17;


Spacing
=======

foo(x,y,z);
for(x= 1;x<10;++x) { }
bla= blub+baz;
if(1) { }
while(1) { }
do { } while(1);

or

foo(x, y, z);
for (x= 1; x < 10; ++x) { }
bla= blub + baz;
if (1) { }
while (1) { }
do { } while (1);


Pre or Post increment
=====================

x++;
for (x= 1; x<10; x++) { }

or

++x;
for (x= 1; x<10; ++x) { }


Combined or seperate increments
===============================

*p++= 0;

or

*p = 0;
++p;


Printf formating
================
(not quite coding style but both are used)

printf("%.250s\n", package->name);

or

printf("%s\n", package->name);


Line breaks in complex conditionals
===================================

if (foo == 1 &&
    bar == 2) { }

or

if (foo == 1
    && bar == 2) { }


Line length
===========

80 chars?

PS: Maybe someone can put the answeres in README.coding-style in the
source?
