Which would look like this with tab stops set to 4 characters:
block {
....block {
--->block {
--->....some_function(arg,
--->..................arg);
If tabs are broken in your environment (i.e., set to something other
than 8), then you're just hosed: there will always be cases were a tab
character will do the wrong thing. No worries, just tell emacs not to
use them and don't use them manually (internal tabs, for example).
