Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add .dir-locals.el file to configure emacs coding style

[Michael Tokarev]

So, what is the consensus here?

Everyone who talked wants the emacs mode, but everyone
offers their own mode.

I'd pick the stroustrup variant suggested by Marcus
since it is shortest, but while being shortest, it
is looks a bit "magical".  On the other hand, variant
from Peter Maydell (https://wiki.linaro.org/PeterMaydell/QemuEmacsStyle)
explicitly defines everything.

Thanks,
