# HexChat Hacking Guidelines
|
|
|
|
Just some tips if you're going to help with HexChat code (patches etc):
|
|
|
|
* Use tabs, not spaces, to indent and align code.
|
|
|
|
* Use a tab size of 4 (most editors will let you choose this).
|
|
Type :set ts=4 in vim/gvim.
|
|
|
|
* Try to stick to the same consistant coding style (vertically aligned braces, a space after if, while, functions etc.):
|
|
|
|
```C
|
|
void
|
|
routine (void)
|
|
{
|
|
if (function (a, b, c))
|
|
{
|
|
x = a + 1;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Don't use "//" C++ style comments, some compilers don't like them.
|
|
|
|
* When opening a file with Unix level functions (open, read/write, close)
|
|
as opposed to the C level functions (fopen, fwrite/fread, fclose), use
|
|
the OFLAGS macro. This makes sure it'll work on Win32 aswell as Unix e.g.:
|
|
|
|
<pre>fh = open ("file", OFLAGS | O_RDONLY);</pre>
|
|
|
|
* Use closesocket() for sockets, and close() for normal files.
|
|
|
|
* Don't read() from sockets, use recv() instead.
|
|
|
|
* Patches are only accepted as a Github Pull request: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests
