-Style
-=====
-Note that the following are guidelines and the most important aspect of style
is consistency. Strive to keep your style consistent with the project on which
you are working.
-
-Recommended Reading
--------------------
-The following contain good information, some of which is repeated below, some
of which is contradicted below.
-
-* <http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/pikestyle>
-* <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle>
-*
<http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man9/style.9?query=style&sec=9>
-
-File Layout
------------
-* Comment with LICENSE and possibly short explanation of file/tool
-* Headers
-* Macros
-* Types
-* Function declarations
- * Include variable names
- * For short files these can be left out
- * Group/order in logical manner
-* Global variables
-* Function definitions in same order as declarations
-* `main`
-
-C Features
-----------
-* Use C99 without extensions (ISO/IEC 9899:1999)
- * When using gcc compile with -std=c99 -pedantic
-* Use POSIX.1-2008
- * When using gcc define `_POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L`
- * Alternatively define `_XOPEN_SOURCE 700`
-* Do not mix declarations and code
-* Do not use for loop initial declarations
-* Use `/* */` for comments, not `//`
-* Variadic macros are acceptable, but remember
- * __VA_ARGS__ not a named parameter
- * Arg list cannot be empty
-
-Blocks
-------
-* All variable declarations at top of block
-* `{` on same line preceded by single space (except functions)
-* `}` on own line unless continuing statement (`if else`, `do while`, ...)
-* Use block for single statements iff
- * Inner statement needs a block
-
- for (;;) {
- if (foo) {
- bar;
- baz;
- }
- }
- * Another branch of same statement needs a block
-
- if (foo) {
- bar;
- } else {
- baz;
- qux;
- }
-
-Leading Whitespace
-------------------
-* Use tabs for indentation
-* Use spaces for alignment
- * This means no tabs except beginning of line
- * Everything will line up independent of tab size
- * Use spaces not tabs for multiline macros as the indentation level is
0, where the `#define` began
-
-Functions
----------
-* Return type and modifiers on own line
-* Function name and argument list on next line
-* Opening `{` on own line (function definitions are a special case of blocks
as they cannot be nested)
-* Functions not used outside translation unit should be declared and defined
`static`
-
-Variables
----------
-* Global variables not used outside translation unit should be declared
`static`
-* In declaration of pointers the `*` is adjacent to variable name, not type
-
-Keywords
---------
-* Use a space after `if`, `for`, `while`, `switch` (they are not function
calls)
-* Do not use a space after the opening `(` and before the closing `)`
-* Always use `()` with `sizeof`
-* Do not use a space with `sizeof()` (it does act like a function call)
-
-Switch
-------
-* Do not indent cases another level
-* Comment cases that FALLTHROUGH
-
-Headers
--------
-* Place system/libc headers first in alphabetical order
- * If headers must be included in a specific order comment to explain
-* Place local headers after an empty line
-* When writing and using local headers
- * Do not use `#ifndef` guards
- * Instead ensure they are included where and when they are needed
- * Read <https://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article#TOC_5.>
- * Read <http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/comp.html>
-
-User Defined Types
-------------------
-* Do not use `type_t` naming (it is reserved for POSIX and less readable)
-* Typedef structs
-* Do not typedef builtin types
-* Capitalize the type name
-* Typedef the type name, if possible without first naming the struct
-
- typedef struct {
- double x, y, z;
- } Point;
-
-Line Length
------------
-* Keep lines to reasonable length (current debate as to reasonable)
-* If your lines are too long your code is likely too complex
-
-Tests and Boolean Values
-------------------------
-* Do not test against `NULL` explicitly
-* Do not test against `0` explicitly
-* Do not use `bool` types (stick to integer types)
-* Assign at declaration when possible
-
- Type *p = malloc(sizeof(*p));
- if (!p)
- hcf();
-* Otherwise use compound assignment and tests unless the line grows too long
-
- if (!(p = malloc(sizeof(*p))))
- hcf();
-
-Handling Errors
----------------
-* When functions `return -1` for error test against `0` not `-1`
-
- if (func() < 0)
- hcf();
-* Use `goto` to unwind and cleanup when necessary instead of multiple nested
levels
-* `return` or `exit` early on failures instead of multiple nested levels
-* Unreachable code should have a NOTREACHED comment
-* Think long and hard on whether or not you should cleanup on fatal errors
-
-Enums vs #define
-----------------
-* Use enums for values that are grouped semantically and #define otherwise.
-
- #define MAXSZ 4096
- #define MAGIC1 0xdeadbeef
-
- enum {
- DIRECTION_X,
- DIRECTION_Y,
- DIRECTION_Z
- };
