libopenmpt Style Guide
======================
### libopenmpt
**Note:**
**This applies to `libopenmpt/` and `openmpt123/` directories only.**
**Use OpenMPT style otherwise.**
The code generally tries to follow these conventions, but they are not
strictly enforced and there are valid reasons to diverge from these
conventions. Using common sense is recommended.
- In general, the most important thing is to keep style consistent with
directly surrounding code.
- Use C++ std types when possible, prefer `std::size_t` and `std::int32_t`
over `long` or `int`. Do not use C99 std types (e.g. no pure `int32_t`)
- Qualify namespaces explicitly, do not use `using`.
Members of `namespace openmpt` can be named without full namespace
qualification.
- Prefer the C++ version in `namespace std` if the same functionality is
provided by the C standard library as well. Also, include the C++
version of C standard library headers (e.g. use `<cstdio>` instead of
`<stdio.h>`.
- Do not use ANY locale-dependant C functions. For locale-dependant C++
functionaly (especially iostream), always imbue the
`std::locale::classic()` locale.
- Prefer kernel_style_names over CamelCaseNames.
- If a folder (or one of its parent folders) contains .clang-format,
use clang-format v3.5 for indenting C++ and C files, otherwise:
- `{` are placed at the end of the opening line.
- Enclose even single statements in curly braces.
- Avoid placing single statements on the same line as the `if`.
- Opening parentheses are separated from keywords with a space.
- Opening parentheses are not separated from function names.
- Place spaces around operators and inside parentheses.
- Align `:` and `,` when inheriting or initializing members in a
constructor.
- The pointer `*` is separated from both the type and the variable name.
- Use tabs for identation, spaces for formatting.
Tabs should only appear at the very beginning of a line.
Do not assume any particular width of the TAB character. If width is
important for formatting reasons, use spaces.
- Use empty lines at will.
- API documentation is done with doxygen.
Use general C doxygen for the C API.
Use QT-style doxygen for the C++ API.
#### libopenmpt indentation example
~~~~{.cpp}
namespace openmpt {
// This is totally meaningless code and just illustrates indentation.
class foo
: public base
, public otherbase
{
private:
std::int32_t x;
std::int16_t y;
public:
foo()
: x(0)
, y(-1)
{
return;
}
int bar() const;
}; // class foo
int foo::bar() const {
for ( int i = 0; i < 23; ++i ) {
switch ( x ) {
case 2:
something( y );
break;
default:
something( ( y - 1 ) * 2 );
break;
}
}
if ( x == 12 ) {
return -1;
} else if ( x == 42 ) {
return 1;
}
return 42;
}
} // namespace openmpt
