Hello,
I have a diffictly deciding where exactly to split a long line of code. for example, this line of code is too long

uCTSTime = bb_get_frame_time(pDevice->preamble_type, byPktType, 14, pDevice->byTopCCKBasicRate);

if i spit it this way:
uCTSTime =
        bb_get_frame_time(pDevice->preamble_type, byPktType, 14, pDevice->byTopCCKBasicRate);

It does not help as the second line is still too long. I considered doing it this way instead:
uCTSTime = bb_get_frame_time(pDevice->preamble_type, byPktType, 14,
                                pDevice->byTopCCKBasicRate);
But i did this on one of my patches and i was told it is not advisable to split a line between
parenthesis '(' and ')'

how can i go about this please?
