Ok, we've talked a lot about style, but the document hasn't really been updated:
Things to add: 1) if/while/for statements must use braces unless the entirety of the statement fits in two lines. if/elseif/else blocks can skip the braces only if all blocks fit on two lines. i.e. (if: 2 lines, if/else: 4 lines, if/elseif/else: 6lines) 2) Instead of writing accessor functions functions named setFoo/getFoo, if they do the obvious thing, just name them both foo and depend on function overloading. This change also implies that any private variable should be given the same name as the function but with a leading underscore. In this example _foo; Bad: int getFoo() const { return foo; } void setFoo(int _foo) { foo = _foo; } Good: int foo() const { return _foo; } void foo(int foo) { _foo = foo; } 3) Functions: template statements should be on a line by themselves return types should be on their own line function names should be at the beginning of the line (subject to indenting rules). EXCEPTION: In class bodies, the entire statement can be on one line if it fits within the column limit. Bad: class Foo { int foo() const { do something; return var; } }; Good: class Foo { int foo() const { do something; return var; } }; 4) Namespaces do not increase the indentation. _______________________________________________ m5-dev mailing list m5-dev@m5sim.org http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/m5-dev
