Simple Kernel STANDARTS
It's easier on everyone if all authors working on a shared code base are consistent in the way they write their programs. We have the following conventions in our code:
-
No space after the name of a function in a call For example, printf("hello") not printf ("hello").
-
One space after keywords "if", "for", "while", "switch". For example, if (x) not if(x).
-
Space before braces. For example, if (x) { not if (x){.
-
Function names are all lower-case separated by underscores.
-
Beginning-of-line indentation via tabs, not spaces.
-
Preprocessor macros are always UPPERCASE. There are a few grandfathered exceptions: assert, panic, static_assert, offsetof.
-
Pointer types have spaces: (uint16_t ) not (uint16_t).
-
Multi-word names are lower_case_with_underscores.
-
Comments in imported code are usually C /* ... */ comments. Comments in new code are C++ style //.
-
In a function definition, the function name starts a new line. Then you can grep -n '^foo' /.c to find the definition of foo.
-
Functions that take no arguments are declared f(void) not f().
