1 | The coding style is almost the same as i blackbox. | 1 | Use hard tab for indentation. (size 4) |
2 | Instead of 2 spaces there is tab. | 2 | Spaces between "," |

39 | 107 | ||
108 | Don't use preprocessors for constants or macro-functions, they can be | ||
109 | cryptic and sometime make it hard to debug. | ||
110 | |||
111 | |||
112 | functions: | ||
113 | The name starts with a lowercase and then a uppercase for name separation: | ||
114 | void functionWithAName(...) { | ||

116 | } | ||

126 | Comments: | ||

128 | Use | ||
129 | /* | ||

133 | when there are a lot to comment | ||

135 | Class: | ||
136 | Order: public, protected and then private | ||
137 | Class names always starts with a big letter. | ||
138 | Class data members are prefixed by m_ , static data members are prefixed with s_ . | ||
139 | Class member function will be organized according to creator, | ||
140 | manipulator and accessors categories. | ||

142 | class Classname:public AnotherClass { | ||
143 | public: | ||

167 | |||

171 | namespace TheName { | ||
172 | ...; | ||
173 | ...; | ||
174 | }; //end namespace TheName | ||
175 | |||
176 | Don't use "using namespace thenamespace;" in header-file | ||
177 | We don't want to force the other files, that include the file, a namespace. | ||
178 | |||

51 | 187 | ||
188 | Variables: | ||
189 | Avoid variables that contain mixtures of the numbers 0 & l and the letters O | ||
190 | and 1, because they are hard to tell apart. | ||
191 | Having a type name and a variable differing in only in case (such as: | ||
192 | String string;) is permitted, but discouraged. | ||
193 | |||
194 | Use lowercase for variables and use _ to separate names, ex: | ||
195 | int number_of_screens; | ||
196 | int num_colors; | ||
197 | |||
198 | |||
199 | All constants must be in Upper case letters. | ||
52 | 200 | ||
53 | enums must be in uppercase letters and not in file scope: | 201 | enums must be in uppercase letters and not in file scope: |
54 | enum {WHITE, RED, BLUE}; | 202 | enum {WHITE, RED, BLUE}; |
55 | 203 | ||
56 | Class data members are prefixed by m_ | 204 | Other: |
57 | Class member function will be organized accordning to creator, | 205 | |
58 | manipulator and accessor categories. | 206 | if (strcmp(...) == 0) //good |
207 | if (!strcmp()) //bad | ||
208 | |||
209 | Don't create free-functions, encapsulate them in a namespace or a class | ||
210 | and name filenames so it's clear what they hold so it's easier to find | ||
211 | functions, classes and other stuff. | ||
