Re: Coding rules

LA>  Btw, should  we talk  about coding rules

From experience on other largish projects, coding
style isn't important, so long as everything is clear,
commented and reasonably consistent.  It doesn't
matter if our loop filter uses tabs and
variablesLikeThis but our transform code uses
2-space-indents and variables_like_this.  Just respect
the original author's style and don't mix tab and
space characters in the same vertical column.

I think we should avoid this topic if possible as it's
almost an issue of religion for some people who are
very adamant that their style is best (btw, I'm one of
these people and I'm resisting temptation...).  We
could lose a lot of time and programmers by getting
into a big debate.  The most important thing is that
the code should be readible by a newbie.

How about this as our only rule:
If you like a particular coding style then you can
make sure it's used by writing lots of good source
code for hdot264 ;-)
