libxl: CODING_STYLE: Clarify line length limit to 75
And give a reason. The previous `limit' of 75-80 was ambiguous. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> Acked-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com> CC: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@citrix.com>

2. Line width

Lines are limited to 75-80 characters.

Lines are limited to 75 characters.
|

|

Rationale:
|
||||
- Some people like to tile their 24" screens with a 6x4 matrix of 80x24
|
||||
xterms and use vi in all of them. The best way to punish them is to
|
||||
let them keep doing it.
|
||||
- In an 80 column terminal, some room needs to be left for > quoting
|
||||
characters, +/- diff characters, and so on, in emails.
|
||||
- Code and especially patches is much more readable if limited to a sane
|
||||
line length. Eighty is traditional.
|
||||
- It is the libxenlight coding style.
