-Eighty Character Line Limit
-***************************
-
-.. COMMENT: TBD - Convert the following to Rest and insert into this file
-.. COMMENT: TBD - https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Coding/80_characters_per_line
-
- Code should look good for everyone under some standard width assumptions.
- Where a line wraps should be the same for anyone reading the code. For
- historical reasons, RTEMS uses 80 characters as the maximum width for each
- line of code.
-
-If you find yourself with code longer than 80 characters, first ask yourself
-whether the nesting level is too deep, names too long, compound expressions too
-complicated, or if some other guideline for improving readability can help to
-shrink the line length. Refactoring nested blocks into functions can help to
-alleviate code width problems while improving code readability. Making names
-descriptive yet terse can also improve readability. If absolutely necessary
-to have a long line, follow the rules on this page to break the line up to adhere
-to the 80 characters per line rule.
-
-Breaking long lines
--------------------
-
-``if``, ``while``, and ``for`` loops have their condition expressions aligned
-and broken on separate lines. When the conditions have to be broken, none go on
-the first line with the ``if``, ``while``, or ``for`` statement, and none go on
-the last line with the closing parenthesis and (optional) curly brace. Long
-statements are broken up and indented at operators, with an operator always
-being the last token on a line. No blank spaces should be left at the end of
-any line. Here is an example with a ``for`` loop.
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- for ( initialization = statement; a + really + long + statement + that + evaluates + to < a + boolean; another + statement++ ) {
- z = a + really + long + statement + that + needs + two + lines + gets + indented + four + more + spaces + on + the + second + and + subsequent + lines + and + broken + up + at + operators;
- }
-
-Should be replaced with
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- for (
- initialization = statement;
- a + really + long + statement + that + evaluates + to <
- a + boolean;
- another + statement++
- ) {
- z = a + really + long + statement + that + needs +
- two + lines + gets + indented + four + more +
- spaces + on + the + second + and + subsequent +
- lines + and + broken + up + at + operators;
- }
-
-Note that indentations should add 2 nesting levels (4 space characters, not tabs).
-
-Similarly,
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- if ( this + that < those && this + these < that && this + those < these && this < those && those < that ) {
-
-should be broken up like
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- if (
- this + that < those &&
- this + these < that &&
- this + those < these &&
- this < those &&
- those < that
- ) {
-
-Note that each expression that resolves to a boolean goes on its own line.
-Where you place the boolean operator is a matter of choice.
-
-When a line is long because of a comment at the end, move the comment to
-just before the line, for example
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- #define A_LONG_MACRO_NAME (AND + EXPANSION) /* Plus + a + really + long + comment */
-
-can be replaced with
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- /* Plus + a + really + long + comment */
- #define A_LONG_MACRO_NAME (AND + EXPANSION)
-
-C Preprocessor macros need to be broken up with some care, because the
-preprocessor does not understand that it should eat newline characters. So
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- #define A_LONG_MACRO_NAME (AND + EXCESSIVELY + LONG + EXPANSION + WITH + LOTS + OF + EXTRA + STUFF + DEFINED)
-
-would become
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- #define A_LONG_MACRO_NAME ( \
- AND + EXCESSIVELY + LONG + EXPANSION + WITH + LOTS + OF + EXTRA + STUFF + \
- DEFINED \
- )
-
-Notice that each line is terminated by a backslash then the carriage return.
-The backslash tells the preprocessor to eat the newline. Of course, if you have
-such a long macro, you should consider not using a macro.
-
-Function declarations can be broken up at each argument, for example
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- int this_is_a_function( int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int arg4, int arg5, int arg6, int arg7, int arg8, int arg9 );
-
-would be broken up as
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- int this_is_a_function(
- int arg1,
- int arg2,
- int arg3,
- int arg4,
- int arg5,
- int arg6,
- int arg7,
- int arg8,
- int arg9
- );
-
-Excessively long comments should be broken up at a word boundary or somewhere
-that makes sense, for example
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- /* Excessively long comments should be broken up at a word boundary or somewhere that makes sense, for example */
-
-would be
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- /* Excessively long comments should be broken up at a word boundary or
- * somewhere that makes sense, for example */
-
-Note that multiline comments have a single asterisk aligned with the asterisk
-in the opening ``/*``. The closing ``*/`` should go at the end of the last
-line.

+Eighty Character Line Limit
+---------------------------
+
+Code should look good for everyone under some standard width assumptions.
+Where a line wraps should be the same for anyone reading the code. For
+historical reasons, RTEMS uses 80 characters as the maximum width for each line

+for the 80 character limit.

+If you find yourself with code longer than 80 characters, first ask yourself

+The ``if``, ``while``, and ``for`` control statements have their condition

+statement, and none go on the last line with the closing parenthesis and the
+curly brace. Long statements are broken up and indented at operators, with an
+operator always being the last token on a line. No blank spaces should be left
+at the end of any line. The continuation of a broken line is indented by one
+level. Here is an example with a ``for`` loop.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for ( initialization = statement; a + really + longish + statement + that + evaluates + to < a + boolean; another + statement ) {
+ some_variable = a + really + longish + statement + that + needs + two + lines + gets + indented + four + more + spaces + on + the + second + and + subsequent + lines + and + broken + up + at + operators;
+ }
+
+Should be replaced with
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ for (
+ initialization = statement;
+ a + really + longish + statement + that + evaluates + to <
+ a + boolean;
+ another + statement
+ ) {
+ some_variable = a + really + longish + statement + that + needs +
+ two + lines + gets + indented + four + more +
+ spaces + on + the + second + and + subsequent +
