I've never ever seen even the barest hint of reasonable rationale for using a tab instead of a space beteen the "#define" and the macro name which follows it. (I say any claim that doing s/define/undef/ will make it look ugly is bogus, especially since the likelyhood doing exactly that is about nil in the majority of uses of #define.) As for using one or more tabs after the macro name, well that makes sense if one wishes to line up the values on a common column for a number of adjacent definitions. -- Greg A.
