The standard is Documentation/CodingStyle and everything else is tradition (which is changing - C++ style comments seem to be slowly creeping into the kernel for example) There is a seperate issue for things like make config and the scripts/tools stuff because if someone is cross compiling they may be building/running on another non Linux non gcc native compiler. Thats one good reason make config is so neat as it lacks any C code ;) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
