* k9core coding style :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: k9core-coding-style :END: Pretty similar to the GNU code standards. ** Functions definition :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: functions-definition :END: Functions have to begin with return type, breakline, and functionname, also brackets will be in a new line: #+BEGIN_SRC C int main(int argc, char *argv[]) #+END_SRC ** Line length :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: line-length :END: A line of code must no exced 75 characters. If it exceeds, do a breakline: #+BEGIN_SRC C int a_very_long_function(int a_very_long_parameter, int another_very_long_parameter); #+END_SRC ** Statements :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: statements :END: Do not do declarations inside an if block. Declarations inside while loop are OK. #+BEGIN_SRC C int fd; if((fd = open("file", O_CREAT)) == -1) /* Don't do this */ { /* Whatever */ } /* Do this instead */ int fd = open("file", O_CREAT); if(fd == -1) { /* Whatever */ } #+END_SRC ** Do not include .c files :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: do-not-include-.c-files :END: Just don't. ** Comments :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: comments :END: Do not use C++ style comments. Comments at beggining of the line should explain what the line does. not how it does. Comments at the end of the line must be explanations of something: #+BEGIN_SRC C // This is a wrong comment /* This is a correct comment */ /* Makes a syscall giving a file descriptor... */ fd = open("whatever",O_RDONLY); /* WRONG */ /* Creates a file descriptor on the file whatever */ fd = open("whatever",O_RDONLY); /* Yes */ /* 420 is 644 in decimal */ <- WRONG chmod("whatever",420) chmod("whatever",420) /* 420 is 644 in decimal #+END_SRC ** For commiters :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: for-commiters :END: Commiters may or may not be anonymous. If you want to be anonymous. Set whatever you want to git name and git email. If you don't want to be anonymous, you should sign your commits using gpg.
