Here are some general rules to follow when writing Ruby and C code for CRuby:
-* Indent 4 spaces for C with tabs for eight-space indentation (emacs default)
+* Indent 4 spaces for C without tabs (old codes might use tabs for eight-space indentation,
+ but newer codes recommend to use spaces only)
* Indent 2 space tabs for Ruby
* Do not use TABs in ruby codes
* ANSI C style for 1.9+ for function declarations
