The style checker script for GCC source code has been updated to correctly handle tabs that appear in the middle of a line. Previously, the script would miscalculate line lengths when tabs were not at the beginning of a line, potentially flagging lines as too long when they were within the limit. This change ensures accurate length calculation for better adherence to coding standards.
