I usually indent this way if expressions exceed the 80 columns limit:
	if (foo___________ &&

	    bar___________) {

		doit;

	}

and

	if ((one___________ ||

	     one_and_a_half) &&

	    two___________) {

		doit;

	}

and

	call(abc_______,

	     def___);

and
static int definition(abc_______,

		      def___)

{

...
and I know I'm not the only one.  Yes, this means I indent with tabs and

spaces --- if I wrap within expressions or within lists of function

arguments.  Of course there are always leading tabs before spaces, never

leading spaces.
PS:  Everyone please try to avoid blowing CodingStyle up to a 200 pages

document.  Thanks.
