Thank you for your valuable information: it will let kernel waste mails
less, and also can save my time resources.

Hmm... for me, I don't check/judge the 'coding style' of different
products, what I focus on is to follow the original product 'coding
style'.

  e.g. Windows, gcc, Linux kernel, their 'coding styles' are quite different with each other.

      Originally I worked under Windows, I followed Windows coding style.
      Now I worked under Linux kernel, I follow Linux kernel coding style.
      I plan to make patch for gcc, I will follow gcc coding style.
        (hope this month I can, but I am not sure, I have no experience for gcc development).

And excuse me, I will be silent during 2013-09-05 - 2013-09-20 (but can
response mail). During these days, I will focus on gcc issues (wish can
fix one), and also do some company's internal things.

Thanks.
