Don't flag arrays declared in function calls as breaking the 80 character limit

We don't have an exception for t() in the coding standards, and I think that is alright. Consider this (unfortunately drupal.org breaks that line for us, but imagine this is one long line):

$x = t('This is a long line with some text using @placeholder1, @placeholder2 and @placeholder3.', array('@placeholder1' => $foo, '@placeholder2' => $bar, '@placeholder3' => $baz));

versus

$x = t('This is a long line with some text using @placeholder1, @placeholder2 and @placeholder3.',
  array(
    '@placeholder1' => $foo,
    '@placeholder2' => $bar,
    '@placeholder3' => $baz,
  )
);

I was working on #1533208: Make contextual module pass Coder Review, and jhodgdon stated that if drupalcs flags up this warning on arrays declared in function calls, then it is inconsistent with the coding standards. This issue is ongoing regarding this: #1539712: [policy, no patch] Coding standards for breaking function calls and language constructs across lines

FWIW, I much prefer the second style and have changed a lot of my code over to that standard now.

The Coding standards only state this with respect to arrays:

Note that if the line declaring an array spans longer than 80 characters (often the case with form and menu declarations), each element should be broken into its own line, and indented one level

Since no exceptions are specified, the sniffer is actually enforcing the the standard correctly as it's written. #1539712: [policy, no patch] Coding standards for breaking function calls and language constructs across lines is about defining exceptions. Until there's resolution there and the standards themselves are updated, any change to the sniffer would have to be based on speculation. It's probably best to wait.

Drupalcs has been merged into coder, moving this issue.

Coder 7.x is frozen now and will not receive updates. Coder 8.x-2.x can be used to check code for any Drupal version, Coder 8.x-2.x also supports the phpcbf command to automatically fix conding standard errors. Please check if this issue is still relevant and reopen against that version if necessary.
