Sure. libvirt's HACKING has a tip I like: I'll be happy to extend it to other modes if that'd help, so it also affects ocaml, shell scripts, etc.:
Code indentation ================ Libvirt's C source code generally adheres to some basic code-formatting conventions. The existing code base is not totally consistent on this front, but we do prefer that contributed code be formatted similarly. In short, use spaces-not-TABs for indentation, use 4 spaces for each indentation level, and other than that, follow the K&R style.
If you use Emacs, add the following to one of one of your start-up files (e.g., ~/.emacs), to help ensure that you get indentation right:
;;; When editing C sources in libvirt, use this style. (defun libvirt-c-mode () "C mode with adjusted defaults for use with libvirt." (interactive) (c-set-style "K&R") (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) ; indent using spaces, not TABs (setq c-indent-level 4) (setq c-basic-offset 4)) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook '(lambda () (if (string-match "/libvirt" (buffer-file-name)) (libvirt-c-mode))))
OK this seems sensible. Do you want to add it to our HACKING while you're doing the actual whitespace changes?
