How can I code in C ++ with the same indentation style in both Vi and Emacs?

Question

How can two developers work on the same C ++ code base so that they can work transparently? Is there a common indentation style for C ++ code that, once installed, two developers can create code with the same level of indentation.

I found Emacs very aggressive for indentation, it is trying to break through, and Vi is quite forgiving. But emacs styles (mixed tabs and spaces) are not so Vim friendly.

Get Emacs to do what you want.

From my ~ / .emacs file:

(defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
  (local-set-key "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char)
  ;; this will make sure spaces are used instead of tabs
  (setq tab-width 4 indent-tabs-mode nil)
  (setq indent-tabs-mode 'nil)
  (setq c-basic-offset 4)
  (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)
  (c-set-offset 'statement-case-open 0)
  (c-set-offset 'case-label 0)
  (c-set-offset 'brace-list-open 0)
)

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(add-hook 'nroff-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(add-hook 'tcl-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(add-hook 'makefile-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
