Tab question in c

[Leo.Hou]

Hi all,

I've spent a lot of time searching for an answer over internet but got
no clue. So I hope I can get some help here.

I got a new project that requires indentation = 4 spaces in their
coding style requirement. I couldn't config this in emacs properly. I
have these two lines in .emacs but they dont work
 '(standard-indent 4)
 '(tab-always-indent t)


And I don't want emacs to indent the braces like this:
while (...)
  {
       ...
  }
How to set brace indent = 0?

Thanks a lot

Leo

For this purpose, I have a local C-style definition in my local cc-mode
setup file, at the `~/elisp/keramida-cc-extra.el' file, but you can
probably get very close to the required style with:

  (defun leo-c-mode-hook ()
    (c-set-style "linux")               ;Linux Coding Style
    (setq c-tab-always-indent t)        ;Always indent when TAB is hit
    (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)         ;Use only SPACES for indentation
    (setq c-basic-offset 4)             ;Standard cc-mode indentation size
    t)

  (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'leo-c-mode-hook)

Converting the above to local file variables shouldn't be too hard, but
if you need help let me know.
