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.
