Hi

I was also surprised when I start working on libstdc++ but yes there are tabs in sources. As long as you configure your editor to have 8 spaces for tabs you will read the sources correctly indented. I guess it is a small performance gain when sources are parsed, it is faster to skip 1 tab than 8 spaces.

Hi

I was wondering if there's any good reason why there's a mix of tabs
and spaces in the stl headers.

Regards.

Pedro.
