Hi All,

Following is extracted from Axis2/C coding convention document [1].

" 4. Function Parameters and Return Value Conventions

Each function should be passed a pointer to an instance of the axutil_env_t struct as the *first *parameter. If the function is tightly bound to a struct, the *second *parameter is a pointer to an instance of that struct. "

But almost all the functions implemented in Axis2/C, axutil_env_t is passed as the *second *parameter if there is a tightly bound struct available(that struct would be the *first *parameter).

I think the document is outdated and needs fixing. We later changed this convention, that if is it a "member" function of a struct, then the first param should be the pointer to struct and the second should be env always.
If it is a non member function, env would be the first.

Further to above, AFAIK, in every "if", "else" statements, Axis2/C uses curly brackets even when there is one line of code present under it. BUT in the above document has code snippets, which does not adhere to that.

don't we have to correct the document?

We need to. And you can help :)

Samisa...
