CodingStyle: add information about editor modelines
I recently received a patch including a file that had a vim modeline, and I realized that nothing specifically proscribed that practice.

Chapter 18: Editor modelines and other cruft
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some editors can interpret configuration information embedded in source files,
|
||||||
|
indicated with special markers. For example, emacs interprets lines marked
|
||||||
|
like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
-*- mode: c -*-
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Or like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/*
|
||||||
|
Local Variables:
|
||||||
|
compile-command: "gcc -DMAGIC_DEBUG_FLAG foo.c"
|
||||||
|
End:
|
||||||
|
*/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Vim interprets markers that look like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/* vim:set sw=8 noet */
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Do not include any of these in source files. People have their own personal
|
||||||
|
editor configurations, and your source files should not override them. This
|
||||||
|
includes markers for indentation and mode configuration. People may use their
|
||||||
|
own custom mode, or may have some other magic method for making indentation
|
||||||
|
work correctly.
