[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] editorconfig: bump line length to 100

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] editorconfig: bump line length to 100

[Bruce Richardson]

Since we allow line lengths of up to 100, adjust the editorconfig to use
that value, to save editors (such as vim) from automatically wrapping
lines at 80 characters when typing.

Since python checkers all seem to expect 79 character lines max, add for
python only a 79-char max line length.

DPDK_CHECKPATCH_LINE_LENGTH default is 80 in
devtools/checkpatches.sh

Yes, but all the CIs run with it set to 100.

I'll do a v2 with that changed in it too, just to keep things consistent.
It better reflects the state of reality in the code base.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] devtools: clarify that lines up to 100 characters are ok

[Bruce Richardson]

Since we allow line lengths of up to 100, and the CI checkpatches job
only check for that amount, the rest of our tooling and docs should
reflect this reality. Therefore we can:

* adjust the editorconfig to use that value, to save editors (e.g. vim)
  from automatically wrapping lines at 80 characters when typing.
  [Since python checkers all seem to expect 79 character lines max, add
  for python only a 79-char max line length.]

* change the default line length setting in checkpatches script to 100
  so as it matches CI and pre-merge checks.

* update the docs to clarify that while 80 chars is recommended, up to
  100 characters is acceptable.

As long as we keep a preference/recommandation for 80 chars, I'm fine.
In general I like short lines, but I dislike some "forced" wrapping.
So allowing for longer lines and trusting authors to do what fits best
is a good call.

Applied, thanks.

I think it would be great to have clarity around this, since it seems to already be allowed.
