Code Style Guidelines

  • Reduce visibility where possible

  • Avoid magic constants

  • Please do not push dead code

We make with -std=c++11 see the Makefile

Brackets

Only the simplest, two-line if/for/while should not have the curly brackets. Anything more than two lines should have {}.

```c if (plain_condition) oneLineStatement();

if (plain_condition) { // comment oneLineStatement(); }

if (plain_condition) { oneLineStatement(); } else { oneLineStatement2(); } ```

Code Formatting

Code formatting matters. The de-facto standard is Eclipse CDT (K&R) with one change: Maximum line width = 120

This standard is far from perfect, but it's good enough for now.
