Coding style ------------ 1. All code should be indented with tabs. (Ignore the use of only spaces in this file) By default, source files contain the following VIM modeline: - - /* vim: set ts=2 sw=2 noet: */ ++ +[C] +code~~~~~~~~~~ +/* vim: set ts=2 sw=2 noet: */ +code~~~~~~~~~~ 2. When opening new blocks such as 'while', 'if', or 'for', leave the opening brace on the same line as the beginning of the codeblock. The closing brace gets its own line (the only exception being 'else'). Do not use extra - spaces around the parentheses of the block. ALWAYS use opening/closing + spaces around the parentheses of the block. ALWAYS use opening and closing braces, even if it's just a one-line block. This reduces future error when blocks are expanded beyond one line. - - for(lp = list; lp; lp = lp->next) { - newlist = _alpm_list_add(newlist, strdup(lp->data)); - } - - while(it) { - ptr = it->next; - if(fn) { - fn(it->data); - } else { - return(1); - } - free(it); - it = ptr; - } ++ +[C] +code~~~~~~~~~~ +for(lp = list; lp; lp = lp->next) { + newlist = _alpm_list_add(newlist, strdup(lp->data)); +} + +while(it) { + ptr = it->next; + if(fn) { + fn(it->data); + } else { + return(1); + } + free(it); + it = ptr; +} +code~~~~~~~~~~ 3. When declaring a new function, put the opening and closing braces on their own line. Also, when declaring a pointer, do not put a space between the asterisk and the variable name. - - alpm_list_t *alpm_list_add(alpm_list_t *list, void *data) - { - alpm_list_t *ptr, *lp; - - ptr = list; - if(ptr == NULL) { - ... - } - -4.
