Please read 'submitting-patches' and 'translation-help' in the same directory

as this file.

Coding style
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
1. All code should be indented with tabs. (Ignore the use of only spaces in
|
|
this file) By default, source files contain the following VIM modeline:
|
|
/* vim: set ts=2 sw=2 noet: */
|
|
|
|
2. When opening new blocks such as 'while', 'if', or 'for', leave the opening
|
|
brace on the same line as the beginning of the codeblock. The closing brace
|
|
gets its own line (the only exception being 'else'). Do not use extra
|
|
spaces around the parentheses of the block. ALWAYS use opening/closing
|
|
braces, even if it's just a one-line block.
|
|
|
|
for(lp = list; lp; lp = lp->next) {
|
|
newlist = _alpm_list_add(newlist, strdup(lp->data));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
while(it) {
|
|
ptr = it->next;
|
|
if(fn) {
|
|
fn(it->data);
|
|
} else {
|
|
return(1);
|
|
}
|
|
free(it);
|
|
it = ptr;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
3. When declaring a new function, put the opening and closing braces on their
|
|
own line. Also, when declaring a pointer, do not put a space between the
|
|
asterisk and the variable name.
|
|
|
|
pmlist_t *_alpm_list_add(pmlist_t *list, void *data)
|
|
{
|
|
pmlist_t *ptr, *lp;
|
|
|
|
ptr = list;
|
|
if(ptr == NULL) {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
4. Comments should be ANSI-C89 compliant. That means no "// Comment" style;
|
|
use only "/* Comment */" style.
|
|
|
|
5. Return statements should be written like a function call.
|
|
|
|
return(0);
|
|
NOT
|
|
return 0;
|
|
|
|
6. The sizeof() operator should accept a type, not a value. (TODO: in certain
|
|
cases, it may be better- should this be a set guideline? Read "The Practice
|
|
of Programming")
|
|
|
|
sizeof(alpm_list_t);
|
|
NOT
|
|
sizeof(*mylist);
|
|
|
|
Other Concerns
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Currently our #include usage is in messy shape, but this is no reason to
|
|
continue down this messy path. When adding an include to a file, follow this
|
|
general pattern, including blank lines:
|
|
|
|
#include "config.h"
|
|
|
|
#include <standardheader.h>
|
|
#include <another.h>
|
|
#include <...>
|
|
|
|
Follow this with some more headers, depending on whether the file is in libalpm
|
|
or pacman proper. For libalpm:
|
|
|
|
/* libalpm */
|
|
#include "yourfile.h"
|
|
#include "alpm_list.h"
|
|
#include "anythingelse.h"
|
|
|
|
For pacman:
|
|
|
|
#include <alpm.h>
|
|
#include <alpm_list.h>
|
|
|
|
/* pacman */
|
|
#include "yourfile.h"
|
|
#include "anythingelse.h"
|
|
|
