Coding Style Conventions
------------------------
General:
* When modifying a file, the style convention in that file should be
followed.
* When creating a new file, the style of existing files should be
followed.
* When creating lots of new files in a new directory, you may use
your own coding standards, but please try to stick as closely as
possible to the GNU coding standards.
* Do not submit patches that consist of (gratuitous) stylistic changes.
C:
* Use ISO C.
* Use glib memory routines where possible. This means you should be
using g_malloc(), g_new(), g_free(), etc., instead of malloc(),
free(), etc. Do not mix glib memory calls with libc calls!
* Where possible, use glib data abstractions instead of rolling your
own. Glib linked lists and pointer arrays are very convenient and
have been extensively used and tested.
* All gnucash functions and global variables are prefixed with gnc_
* Use static functions whenever possible
* Use const whenever possible
Scheme:
* All gnucash functions and global variables are prefixed with gnc:
* All global variables are enclosed in ** (i.e. gnc:*load-path*)
* All private functions are enclosed in __ (i.e. gnc:_do-not-call_)
* All C functions wrapped into scheme have dashes in place of underscores.
(xaccSplitGetBalance --> gnc:split-get-balance) - but FIXME:
This policy seems to have been dropped in favor of having
identical function names. cstim, 2006-10-30.
