Currently, coding style of all lxde programs were different.
However it's good for a project to have consistent coding style in all
the programs.
Personally, my coding style is like this:
#include "some-header.h"
void function()
{
if( value )
{
char str[10];
for( i = 0; i < 10; ++i )
{
do_something();
str[i] = '0' + i;
}
str[i] = '\0';
}
else if( value2 )
{
do_other_things( param1, param2, param3 );
}
else
{
do_nothing();
}
}
1. use fixed 4 space indentation instead of tabs.
2. do not attach { to end of line and put it in a seperate line.
3. do not indent { and }.
4. different words in a filename should be seperated by hyphen. (ex:
main-window.c, not mainwindow.c)
5. add spaces between operaters and their operands.
6. no space between function name and ().
7. add spaces between parameter list of a function and the () outside it.
Some rules are not strictly followed by me, either.
If anyone found those rules quite annoying, I'm open for discussion.
Anyways, we can use some formating tools such as astyle to reformat
all the source code.
Cheers!
