I completely support extension of the line with. 80 characters limit is very annoying these days. 120 is a good number.

Dear all,

[Despite today being April 1st, this is not an april fool's joke]

ever since the start of the Osmocom project, we have adopted pretty much 1:1 the Linux Kernel coding style.

Having a uniform coding style all over the project is important for readability, and from my point of view it doesn't really matter too much which style it is, as long as it is uniform accross the projects.

I'm still fine with the Linux kernel coding style for most parts, but I think we could consider allowing longer lines. 80 characters is still nice here and there, but maybe something like 100, 120 or even 130 might actually make the code more readable and permit us to use slightly longer identifiers without having to wrap every second statement in the code.

What do people generally think here?

Regards, Harald
