<p>
Mesa is over 20 years old and the coding style has evolved over time.
Some old parts use a style that's a bit out of date.
+

+EditorConfig (.editorconfig) and/or Emacs (.dir-locals.el) file.
+
+Alternatively the following is applicable.
+
If the guidelines below don't cover something, try following the format of
existing, neighboring code.
