Hi, group.
When I type some C code such as:
if(1)
{
   a = 0;
}

The space before 'a=0' is automatic two characters, how to make it 8
characters ? Thanks.

This is set by

c-basic-offset.

Which can be customised or set in your .emacs.el.

This sets the basic offset "unit" for all c-mode indenting.
