Our editorconfig file looked sensible, saying that we wanted to indent
with spaces and use 3/4/whatever space indentation. However, the spec has
this little surprise:
"tab_width: a whole number defining the number of columns used to
represent a tab character. This defaults to the value of indent_size
and doesn't usually need to be specified."
so once my editor started respecting editorconfig, the files that have
tabs left in them started getting rendered wrong, showing up like this in
brw_program.c:
case GL_COMPUTE_PROGRAM_NV: {
struct brw_program *prog = rzalloc(NULL, struct brw_program);
if (prog) {
prog->id = get_new_program_id(brw->screen);
return _mesa_init_gl_program(&prog->program, target, id);
}
else
return NULL;
}

A few weeks ago, Jose Fonseca suggested [0] we use .editorconfig files
to try and enforce the formatting of the code, to which Michel Dänzer
suggested [1] we start by importing the existing .dir-locals.el
settings. The first draft was discussed in the RFC [2].
These .editorconfig are a first step, one that has the advantage of
requiring little to no intervention from the devs once the settings
files are in place, but the settings are very limited. This does have
the advantage of applying while the code is being written.
This doesn't replace the need for more comprehensive formatting tools
such as clang-format & clang-tidy, but those reformat the code after
the fact.
